Modelling of dense multiphase flows using CFD and DEM (2018) - CANCELLED

Welcome to Modelling of Dense Multiphase Flows using CFD and DEM

CANCELLED


 Description: The course is designed to give students insight into and knowledge about modelling of dense multiphase systems using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and discrete element modelling (DEM) approaches. The course will give a brief introduction to CFD fundamentals, focusing on the finite volume approach and applied to turbulent flows. From this, the fundamentals of the DEM method for particle-particle interaction as well as coupling these to the fluid dynamic system will be discussed. Special cases such as particle agglomoration/break up and cohesive particle structures will be introduced, and exemplified through examples and hands-on sessions. Altough theoretical aspects will be applicable to all software suites, the hands-on sessions and examples will be based on open source software such as OpenFoam and LIGGGHTS.

Prerequisites: fundamental fluid mechanics and turbulence; access to lab top with simulation software

Important information concerning PhD courses We have over some time experienced problems with no-show for both project and general courses. It has now reached a point where we are forced to take action. Therefore, the Doctoral School has decided to introduce a no-show fee of DKK 5,000 for each course where the student does not show up. Cancellations are accepted no later than 2 weeks before start of the course. Registered illness is of course an acceptable reason for not showing up on those days. Furthermore, all courses open for registration approximately three months before start. This can hopefully also provide new students a chance to register for courses during the year. We look forward to your registrations.
