Abstract:We employ the three-way coupled numerical simulations to investigate the flocculation of primary cohesive particles which are locally densely distributed in the Taylor–Green cellular vortex flow. The hydrodynamic and inertial forces as well as the direct contact, lubrication, and cohesion forces between particles during the growth, deformation, and breakup of flocs are captured in detail. The flocculation rate of the primary particles decreases gradually from its maximum value at the initial moment, then level… Show more
