A CFD-PBE SOLVER FOR BUBBLE COLUMNS OPERATING AT HIGH PRESSURE
1.Introduction OpenFOAM(open-source field operation and manipulation) is a free source CFD(computational fluid dynamics) package written in C++,which uses classes and templates to manipulate and operate scalar,vectorial and tensorial fields 1.Its open-source characteristics facilitate the implementation of any addition or modification in the source code,which is very suitable for the purposes of research 2.Recently,our group has developed several solvers and carried out simulations in the framework of OpenFOAM.Cheng et al.3 developed a CFD-PBE(population balance equation) solver for gas-liquid flows.To validate this solver,a bubble column was simulated,and the simulation results showed generally reasonable agreement with the published experimental data.The coupling of pressure and velocity is resolved with the PIMPLE algorithm,which is a combination of the PISO(Pressure-Implicit with Splitting of Operators) and the SIMPLE(Semi-Implicit Method for Pressure-Linked Equations) algorithms.
