Shock Particle Interaction
M.S. Project
University of Florida, Center for Compressible Multi-phase Turbulent group (CCMT)
This research project investigates the dynamics of shock wave interactions with a particle curtain, focusing on the resulting hydrodynamic behavior and flow field characteristics. After the shock wave impacts the particle curtain, the upstream front of the curtain moves downstream, resulting in a negative velocity gradient and initial compression. Subsequently, the particle curtain expands as the volume fraction decreases, and pressure equilibrium is established throughout the flow field. In the simulations, particles are modeled as point particles and solved in a Lagrangian reference frame to achieve sub-grid resolution, while the flow field is resolved using an Eulerian framework. The shock Mach number and particle volume fraction used in the simulations are 1.66 and 20%, respectively. The code used for this research is a modified version of Rocflu.
