13th Workshop on Two-Phase Flow Predictions

Test Case Calculations
An additional objective of the Workshop will be related to the validation of numerical predictions obtained by different model approaches and numerical codes. These validations will be based on pre-defined test cases for which experimental or numerical results (e.g. direct or large eddy simulations) are available. Several test cases have been selected and will be made available to the interested groups prior to the Workshop on the homepage of the organiser. The test case descriptions will provide all necessary boundary and inlet conditions. The following test cases are tentatively planned: 

·       Sedimentation of a solid particle towards a plane wall; test case for fully resolved DNS

·       Small-scale liquid-solid fluidised bed with about 2000 particles and a mean volume fraction of 30% (data from University of Toulouse)

·       DNS data on droplet coalescence in homogeneous isotropic turbulence (data from IMF Toulouse)

·       Pneumatic conveying of fine particles through a horizontal glass pipe with a length of 5.5 m and a diameter of 80 mm (MVT, MLU-Halle)

During the Workshop, the test case results will be exhibited in the poster session. If time allows a round table discussion on the test case results will be arranged. After the Workshop the test case results will be also displayed at the homepage of the organiser. Joint publications of the test case calculations are encouraged. 

The number of groups participating in one test case calculation is limited to about five. Any questions regarding the test cases may be sent to Prof. Dr.-Ing. M. Sommerfeld.

Registration fee
The registration fee for the Workshop is 300 Euro, which includes the proceedings, refreshments during the breaks, lunches, an excursion and a common dinner in a historic place of the region. The registration fee should be paid by bank transfer only. An invoice or receipt will be issued after the final registration.

Proceedings
The proceedings will include papers of all accepted presentations and posters and will be provided on a CD at the Workshop registration.
