Coupled CFD-DEM Investigation of Erosion Accompanied by Clogging Mechanism under Different Hydraulic Gradients

Linlong Mu et al.

Summary: Soil internal erosion refers to the erosion of finer grains from the matrix of coarser grains due to seepage. This study investigates the coupled influences of hydraulic gradient and fine content on different erosion processes using a computational fluid dynamics and discrete element method (CFD-DEM) analysis. The findings reveal the presence of a threshold hydraulic gradient above which local particle clogging dominates and leads to a smaller erosion degree. These findings provide valuable insights into the erosion process and can contribute to the establishment of erosion laws.

Numerical investigation of the seepage mechanism and characteristics of soil-structure interface by CFD-DEM coupling method

Xuemin Yang et al.

Summary: In this paper, a series of numerical tests on interfacial seepage using CFD-DEM coupling method were conducted. The seepage mechanism and characteristics of different soil layers in the seepage device were analyzed and a formula for calculating the critical hydraulic gradient of the interface was discussed. The main conclusions are: (1) the seepage flow on the soil-structure interface goes through three stages: stability stage, transition stage, and particle erosion stage; (2) the porosity and flow velocity of soil on the interface are greater than those in the far-field soil at the beginning of seepage flow; (3) particle erosion on the soil-structure interface occurs earlier and is more severe than that of the far-field soil; (4) the critical hydraulic gradient of the interface rises nonlinearly with the increase of soil compaction degree; (5) the formula for calculating the critical hydraulic gradient of the interface could predict the numerical test results well.

Seepage effect on failure mechanisms of the underwater tunnel face via CFD-DEM coupling

Yanbin Fu et al.

Summary: This study investigates the effect of seepage on the failure mechanism and stability of underwater tunnel faces using the Computational Fluid Dynamics-Discrete Element Method (CFD-DEM). The results show that seepage significantly affects the failure mechanism and support pressure. Comparison with previous literature suggests that tunnel face permeability is the key factor causing differences in support pressure under different hydraulic conditions. Additionally, the study analyzes failure mechanisms under different water depths and presents microscopic contact information under seepage conditions.

Numerical study on clogging mechanism of slurry infiltration in porous media based on coupled CFD-DEM method

Yufeng Lin et al.

Summary: In this paper, a coupled CFD-DEM model is used to study the clogging mechanism and migration of slurry particles. Simulation results reveal the significance of pore size in particle capture and escape. Different-sized pores lead to dispersed local clogs at the beginning of infiltration, which converge into an overall clog when large pores are blocked. This study provides new insights into slurry infiltration and serves as a reference for similar investigations.

Clogging effect of fines in seepage erosion by using CFD-DEM

Hao Xiong et al.

Summary: The macroscopic phenomena and microscopic origin of penetrative migration and retention of fine particles in porous skeleton are studied through simulations using the coupled computational fluid dynamics-discrete element method. The results show that pore size significantly contributes to the degree and position of clogging, flow velocity affects cluster distribution, and more inflow fines aid the development of particle clusters in flow-avoidable areas.

Critical time step for discrete element method simulations of convex particles with central symmetry

Di Peng et al.

Summary: In DEM simulations, choosing a suitable time step is crucial, with established methods for spherical particles but a lack of guidance for nonspherical particles. This article introduces an explicit formula for critical time step calculation based on eigenvalues of the amplification matrix, applicable to various shapes of particles. The critical time step decreases nonlinearly as particle shape becomes more nonspherical, challenging the assumption of conservative estimates based on equivalent volume spheres.

Numerical study of fine particles behaviors in a packed bed with lateral injection using CFD-DEM

Heng Zhou et al.

Summary: The numerical study of gas-fine flow in a packed bed with lateral injection provides insights into the distribution and clogging behaviors of fine particles. Various variables such as diameter ratio, mass flux of fine particles, and rolling frictional coefficient impact the behavior of fine particles in the packed bed. The results indicate that changes in these variables lead to differences in the clustering and dispersion of fine particles in the packed bed.
