This project aims to investigate the multi-phase flow behaviours and the mechanisms of interactions among phases in gas-liquid-solid three-phase bubble column reactors. The research methodologies will include the combination of theoretical modelling, numerical simulation and experimental work. Numerical calculations will be done concurrently using a multi-fluid approach in combination with a population balance for the three phases and a LES-Euler/Lagrange method. Both approaches have to be extended for allowing three-phase bubble column simulations considering all relevant transport mechanisms. This includes first of all the consideration of all forces important for correctly describing bubble and particle motion. Models will be developed for the meso-scale interactions between particles and bubbles, bubble induced turbulence and particle modulated liquid turbulence in bubble column reactors. Hence the proposed project includes the following core tasks, each combined with a detailed validation and cross-comparison of both approaches:(1) Modelling particle-bubble interactions including a possible sticking probability by adhesion forces. This model will be based on the stochastic collision model, which includes hydrodynamic interactions. An additional resistance term for both phases will be introduced in order to describe particles being dragged by bubbles and vice versa. These model developments will be supported by Lattice-Boltzmann simulations where bubbles are resolved and particles are treated as point masses.(2) Develop a novel bubble coalescence and breakup kernel that takes into account the effects of bubble induced turbulence, modulation on liquid phase turbulence by solid particles, and the impact of modified turbulence on bubble coalescence and breakup. The proposed model will be implemented by employing two bubble group population balance models.(3) To develop a liquid-phase sub-grid model that considers the scale and concentration effects of liquid phase turbulence modulation by bubbles and solid particles, which will then be coupled with the two bubble group population balance models to perform three-phase large eddy simulation. In addition sub-grid turbulence closures will be developed for application in the frame of LES-Euler/Lagrange simulations.(4) Adaptation of PIV and ECVT techniques to experimentally obtain the fluid dynamic parameters and characteristics of phase distribution in gas-liquid-solid three-phase bubble column reactors, especially the liquid phase turbulence power spectra. The experimental data will be used to validate the large eddy simulation of three-phase bubble column reactor, as well as two-fluid and Euler/Lagrange approaches and study the fundamental interactions of gas-liquid-solid three phases. The project will reveal the meso-scale turbulence structures due to particles and bubbles in the three-phase bubble column reactors and the coupling mechanisms of turbulence modulation.

该项目旨在研究气-液-固三相鼓泡塔反应器中的多相流动行为以及相间相互作用的机制。研究方法将包括理论建模、数值模拟和实验工作的结合。数值计算将使用多流体方法结合三个阶段的总体平衡和 LES-Euler/Lagrange 方法同时进行。这两种方法都必须进行扩展，以允许考虑所有相关传输机制的三相气泡塔模拟。这首先包括考虑对于正确描述气泡和粒子运动很重要的所有力。将开发气泡塔反应器中颗粒与气泡之间的细观相互作用、气泡引起的湍流和颗粒调制液体湍流的模型。因此，拟议的项目包括以下核心任务，每个核心任务都结合了两种方法的详细验证和交叉比较：（1）建模粒子-气泡相互作用，包括粘附力可能的粘附概率。该模型将基于随机碰撞模型，其中包括流体动力相互作用。将引入两个相的附加阻力项，以描述被气泡拖动的颗粒，反之亦然。这些模型的开发将得到格子-玻尔兹曼模拟的支持，其中气泡被解析，颗粒被视为点质量。(2)开发一种新颖的气泡聚结和破碎内核，该内核考虑了气泡引起的湍流的影响、固体颗粒对液相湍流的调制以及修正的湍流对气泡聚结和破碎的影响。该模型将采用两个气泡群种群平衡模型来实现。(3)建立考虑气泡和固体颗粒对液相湍流调制的尺度和浓度效应的液相子网格模型，然后将其与两个气泡群种群平衡模型耦合进行三相大涡模拟。此外，还将开发亚网格湍流闭合，用于LES-Euler/Lagrange模拟框架。(4)采用PIV和ECVT技术，通过实验获得气液固三相鼓泡塔反应器的流体动力学参数和相分布特征，特别是液相湍流功率谱。实验数据将用于验证三相鼓泡塔反应器的大涡模拟以及二流体和欧拉/拉格朗日方法，并研究气-液-固三相的基本相互作用。该项目将揭示三相鼓泡塔反应器中颗粒和气泡引起的细观湍流结构以及湍流调制的耦合机制。
