Drag force acting on a particle is vital for the accurate simulation of turbulent multiphase flows, but the robust drag model is still an open issue. Fully resolved direct numerical simulation (DNS) with an immersed boundary method is performed to investigate the drag force on saltating particles in wall turbulence over a sediment bed. Results show that, for saltating particles, the drag force along the particle trajectories cannot be estimated accurately by traditional drag models originally developed for an isolated particle that depends on the particle-wall separation distance or local volume fraction in addition to the particle Reynolds number. The errors between the models and DNS are especially clear during the descending phase of the particles. Through simple theoretical analysis and DNS data fitting, we present a corrected factor using the classical, particle Reynolds number dependent drag force model as the benchmark model. The new drag model, which takes the particle vertical velocity into account, can reasonably predict the mean drag force obtained by DNS along a particle trajectory.

“…u in,max = 8u τ was forecast based on the particle velocity of a similar particle-resolved simulation by Vowinckel et al (2014). The physical stiffness for the glass particle E = 55 GPa was used in the MTSA, while the particle stiffness was reduced in Cases SCTA1 and SCTA2 by the stretching collision time algorithm with the same stretching coefficient N = 10 ( Kempe and Fröhlich, 2012a;Zhu et al, 2022). Case SCTA2 further reduced the particle stiffness by increasing T c compared with SCTA1.…”

“…A number of different particle-resolved simulation approaches have been developed for particle-laden flows, like the immersed boundary (IB) method (Mittal and Iaccarino, 2005;Uhlmann, 2005;Luo et al, 2007;Breugem, 2012;Kempe and Fröhlich, 2012b;Zhou and Fan, 2014;Tao et al, 2018;Huang and Tian, 2019;Wang et al, 2019) and the distributed Lagrange multiplier (DLM)/fictitious domain approach (Glowinski et al, 1999(Glowinski et al, , 2001Shao, 2007, 2010;Shao et al, 2012;Yu et al, 2021). Particle-resolved simulations have been commonly used to obtain high-fidelity simulation data, which is greatly helpful for developing reduced-order models (Bagchi and Balachandar, 2003;Eaton, 2009;Homann et al, 2013;Wang et al, 2022;Xia et al, 2022;Zhu et al, 2022) or studying the mechanism of the fluid-particle interactions (Uhlmann, 2008;Kidanemariam and Uhlmann, 2014b;Vreman, 2016;Vowinckel et al, 2016;Luo et al, 2017;Peng et al, 2020). The focus of the paper is on a collision algorithm for particles in particle-resolved simulations.…”

In this paper, we present a multiple-time-step integration algorithm (MTSA) for particle collisions in particle-resolved simulations of particle-laden flows. Since the time step required for resolving a collision process is much smaller than that for the fluid flow, the computational cost obtained by reducing the time step in the traditional soft-sphere model is quite high in particleresolved simulations of more than thousands of particles. In one state-of-theart methodology, the collision time needs to be stretched to several times the flow solver time step. However, the stretched collision time is artificial and not physical, and the simulation results are affected by the stretched collision time. The present MTSA used different time steps to resolve the fluid flow, fluid-particle interactions, and particle collisions. We assessed the MTSA for particle-wall collisions as well as particle-particle collisions, determined the optimal iteration number in the substeps, and obtained excellent agreement between experimental measurements and simulation results using the traditional soft-sphere model. The MTSA was then implemented in a simulation of sediment transport (turbulent flow over an erodible particle bed) with thousands of particles. By comparing the results obtained using the MTSA and the stretching collision time algorithm, we found that stretching the collision time reduced the particle stiffness, weakened the particle entrainment, and affected the turbulence and particle statistics. The computational cost of the MTSA could be reduced to about one order of magnitude less than that using the traditional soft-sphere model with almost the same accuracy.
