Abstract

A CFD model was developed to simulate the turbulent flow field and the associated dust dispersion in an agitated spherical explosion vessel. Simulations were performed in the presence of a fan at the bottom of the sphere. Numerical results show that a helicoidal flow pattern is established. The dust entrained by the fluid flow accumulates at the wall and mainly at the top of the sphere.
