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.

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.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
