Abstract

We present an Eulerian method to compute polydisperse flow, using a stabilized finite element method for the flow and particle transport equations, an equilibrium approach to compute the particle velocity field and a Direct Quadrature of Method of Moments to take into account polydispersity and particle coagulation. For the coagulation, a kernel that can be used in direct numerical simulation is derived. The method is tested on the Taylor-Green vortex and a Burgers vortex.
