Slurry Transport
Application ID: 12367
The Pipe Flow interface allows you to simulate non-Newtonian fluids flowing in pipes.
This example models a coal slurry being transported in a pipe system where the pipe diameter changes in different sections. The slurry behaves as a non-Newtonian fluid described by the power law model. Results provide the flow rate in different sections
of the piping and the total pressure drop across the system.
This model example illustrates applications of this type that would nominally be built using the following products:
however, additional products may be required to completely define and model it. Furthermore, this example may also be defined and modeled using components from the following product combinations:
The combination of COMSOL® products required to model your application depends on several factors and may include boundary conditions, material properties, physics interfaces, and part libraries. Particular functionality may be common to several products. To determine the right combination of products for your modeling needs, review the Grille des Spécifications and make use of a free evaluation license. The COMSOL Sales and Support teams are available for answering any questions you may have regarding this.
