Abstract This study proposes a three-dimensional grid-free method to simulate particle-laden gas flows. It is based on a vortex method. The flow region is not resolved into computational grids, but the gas vorticity field is discretized by vortex elements. The behavior of the vortex element and the particle motion are simultaneously calculated by using the Lagrangian approach. Eight cubic cells are locally allocated around each particle to compute the effect of the particle motion on the gas flow. In each cell, the change in the vorticity due to the particle is calculated, and it is considered by generating a vortex element… More >
