Investigation of Erosion and Deposition of Sand Particles within a Pin Fin Array

The transport of particulates within both a fully developed and developing pin fin arrays is explored using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations. The simulations are carried out using the LES solver, GenIDLEST, for the fluid (carrier) phase and a Langragian approach for the particle (dispe...
