Modelling vortex ring formation, discrete phase intake and transport via formed structure

Vortex ring formation using cylindrical tube with open section considered in present research work. Injection of discrete phase in form of solid particles into formation area leads to its involving and further transportation via vortex ring. Numerical simulation in presented work used as main tool. Fluid considered as viscous, incompressible and described by Navier-Stokes equations. Drag law for sphere particles is used. Vortex ring generation factors including geometry and operating parameters as well as location and size of injection area are subjected to analysis.
