An Eulerian–Eulerian formulation for erosion modelling: an alternate approach. (2018)
Presentation / Conference
TANDON, M.P., MOHAN, S.J., KARNIK, A.U. and GADA, V.H. 2018. An Eulerian–Eulerian formulation for erosion modelling: an alternate approach. Presented at the 7th International and 45th National fluid mechanics and fluid power conference (FMFP 2018), 10-12 December 2018, Mumbai, India.

Sand is commonly produced besides petroleum fluids and it presents a major erosional hazard leading to pipe failures. Particle erosion is a complex process in which material is removed due to the repeated particle impacts. Conventionally, a CFD flow...

In this study, simulations are carried out using the Euler-Euler granular model in STAR-CCM+ for a gas-solid flow in a rectangular bubbling fluidized bed. The problem studied was announced as Small Scale Challenge Problem (SSCP-I) in 2013. Experiment... Read More about Simulation of rectangular fluidised bed with Geldart D particles..

Numerical investigation of the effect of bed height and coefficient of restitution on the minimum fluidization velocity of a cylindrical fluidized bed. (2013)
Presentation / Conference
KARNIK, A., RANGARAJAN, A. and TANDON, A. 2013. Numerical investigation of the effect of bed height and coefficient of restitution on the minimum fluidization velocity of a cylindrical fluidized bed. Presented at the 8th International conference on multiphase flow (ICMF 2013), 26-31 May 2013, Jeju, Korea.

Numerical simulation for 4 different ratios of initial bed heights (H) to base diameter (D), were performed; viz. 0.5, 1, 2 and 3. Glass beads of density 2600kg/m3 and with an average diameter of 550μm were used for all the simulations. Simulations w...

Mitigation of preferential concentration of small inertial particles in stationary isotropic turbulence using electrical and gravitational body forces. (2012)
Journal Article
KARNIK, A.U. and SHRIMPTON, J.S. 2012. Mitigation of preferential concentration of small inertial particles in stationary isotropic turbulence using electrical and gravitational body forces. Physics of fluids [online], 24(7), article ID 073301. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1063/1.4732540

Particles with a certain range of Stokes numbers preferentially concentrate due to action of turbulent motion and body forces such as gravity are known to influence this process. The effect of electric charge, residing on particles, upon the phenomen...
