CFD analysis of solid particles properties effect in three-phase flotation column
Abstract
A Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) model of flotation column was developed and validated against published experimental data. The model is based on an Eulerian multi-fluid formulation with k–ɛ turbulence model and includes three phases: gas bubbles, liquid and solid particle suspended in the liquid. The model is developed by writing FORTRAN subroutine and incorporating then into the commercial CFD code AVL FIRE, v.2014. The gas holdup in …
