Monte carlo simulation of clustering of alumina particles in turbulent liquid aluminum
Abstract
A Monte Carlo method was developed to simulate the formation of clusters of alumina particles suspended in a turbulent pure liquid aluminum melt. With this approach, the chaotic movements of small alumina particles suspended within eddies smaller than the Kolmogoroff microscale were treated in a similar way to Brownian motion, and clusters were assumed to form once these particles collided with each other. The results obtained from the …
