Description
Description
This simulation is about Sludge flow Settling in a pipe via ANSYS Fluent software. We perform this CFD project and investigate it by CFD analysis.
In this project, the water enters the pipe with a velocity of 0.01 m/s with gravity considered -9.81 m/s2 on the y-axis. This water flow carries sludge particles.
The geometry of the present model is drawn by Design Modeler software. The geometry consists two-section, the lower section is resident water, and the upper section contains an outlet and inlet.
The model is then meshed by ANSYS Meshing software. The model mesh is unstructured, and 390742 cells have been created.
Sludge Flow Method
Sludge Flow is considered a multiphase flow because the sludge particles float on the water flow. So there is a need to use a Multiphase model in this simulation.
VOF, mixture and Eulerian models can be used as multiphase models. For sludge flows, the Eulerian Model is usually used. This model is known as the most complex multiphase model.
Sludge Flow Conclusion
After simulation, two-dimensional contours of velocity and volume fraction of sludge and water are obtained. Also, the animation is obtained for the volume fraction of water and sludge.
The results show that the two-phase flow enters the pipe in a mixed manner. Then, over time, the sludge flow begins to settle, while water flow continues to move due to its lightness. The U-shaped structure of the tube leads to sedimentation.

Dr. Maritza Bashirian DVM –
I was delighted with the clarity of the simulation results depicting the sludge settling! Is it possible to also analyze the effect of different sludge concentration levels on the flow and settling behavior, using this model?
MR CFD Support –
Thank you for your positive feedback on the simulation! Yes, using this model, it is indeed possible to analyze the effect of varying sludge concentration levels. By altering the sludge properties and initial conditions, one can investigate how different concentrations influence the flow dynamics and sedimentation patterns within the pipe. This helps to understand the behavior of the sludge under different scenarios and is valuable for designing more efficient sludge management systems.
Lilian Barrows –
I’m impressed with the detailed handling of the multiphase sludge flow simulation. Could you tell me more about the Eulerian model and why it’s considered the most complex among the multiphase models used in such simulations?
MR CFD Support –
The Eulerian multiphase model allows each phase to occupy any point in the domain at any time, which is ideal for a mixture such as sludge particles suspended in water. This approach treats each phase as a continuous, interpenetrating continuum. It’s considered the most complex because it solves a separate set of momentum and continuity equations for each phase, accounting for the interactions between them. This complexity allows for a highly accurate representation of the physics involved in multiphase flows like sludges settling in a pipe.

Eldora West –
Can this simulation account for different particle sizes within the sludge, or is it assuming uniform particle size throughout?
MR CFD Support –
In this specific simulation, we focused on the behavior of sludge as a homogeneous mixture. However, the model can be adapted to consider different particle sizes by implementing a multiple size group (MUSIG) model or a discretize phase model (DPM), which would require additional setup and calculation time.
