Parallelization of a stochastic Euler-Lagrange model applied to large scale dense bubbly flows. (English) Zbl 07785537
Summary: A parallel and scalable stochastic Direct Simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) method applied to large-scale dense bubbly flows is reported in this paper. The DSMC method is applied to speed up the bubble-bubble collision handling relative to the Discrete Bubble Model proposed by D. Darmana et al. [J. Comput. Phys. 220, No. 1, 216–248 (2006; Zbl 1158.76396)]. The DSMC algorithm has been modified and extended to account for bubble-bubble interactions arising due to uncorrelated and correlated bubble velocities. The algorithm is fully coupled with an in-house CFD code and parallelized using the MPI framework. The model is verified and validated on multiple cores with different test cases, ranging from impinging particle streams to laboratory-scale bubble columns. The parallel performance is shown using two different large scale systems: with an uniform and a non-uniform distribution of bubbles. The hydrodynamics of a pilot-scale bubble column is analyzed and the effect of the column scale is reported via the comparison of bubble columns at three different scales.
