Abstract
This paper aims to study the flow of a solid particle over a deposit in transport and processing equipment. Tracking particles and fluid elements moving through single- and multi-phase systems is very useful for studying numerous flow processes and identifying anomalies happening in the processes. Using Positron emission tomography (PET) and positron emission particle tracking (PEPT), that are relatively new techniques, it has become possible to visualize the movement of single particles in process equipment. The results from PEPT are here compared with particle-coupled Large Eddy Simulation numerical results. In the initial stages of the numerical modelling, results were validated using the PEPT experimental data in terms of its ability to correctly predict the flow and deposition of particles in a fluid flowing at a moderately low Reynolds number.
