Iowa State University of Science and Technology was awarded a $409,993 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental, and Transport Systems to develop comprehensive Eulerian multiphase models for electrostatic phenomena in polydisperse gas-particle flows. The university will formulate new computer models to better predict when and how solid particles become electrically charged in gas-particle flows, and how this affects flow behavior. The models will incorporate experimentally observed distributions of charge saturation and its dependency on local temperature and pressure. The university will also derive kinetic theory closures for hydrodynamic properties and electrostatic charging, and formulate RANS closures to enable application to turbulent regimes. Validation will be performed against literature experiments and simulations. The project aligns with the NSF Engineering program's goals of fostering innovation in engineering research. The three-year award runs from July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2026.
