Dynamics of Stratified Particulate Flows with Erosion and Deposition

Abstract

We propose to investigate the physics of stratified,. concentrated particulate flows with erosion and deposition, by a) means of highly accurate, grain-resolving DNS simulations at the microscale, and b) reduced order, vorticity-based modeling of their macro-scale dynamics. The proposed research will extend and combine existing strengths in the PI s research group, thereby providing fundamentally new physical insight into a wide range of concentrated particle-laden flows with erosion and deposition. It will furthermore develop predictive capabilities for the field-scale dynamics of such important applications as dust storms, powder snow avalanches, pyroclastic flows, turbidity currents and related phenomena.
