In nuclear engineering, fluid flows involving free surface were well studied, e.g., pipe thinning produced by liquid droplet impingement, and steam explosion triggered by molten metal immersed in water. The moving particle simulation (MPS) method was often used in past studies. In this method, the Poisson equation was solved to obtain the pressure field. Solving the Poisson equation becomes a dominant process. Reducing the time of calculation of the Poisson equation is important for using the CFD in the engineering fields. Thereat, we propose a new MPS method by which the pressure field is calculated explicitly. We call it the explicit (E-)MPS method. The E-MPS method was applied to a static water and dam break problem to show its adequacy. Besides, we compare the calculation time between the E-MPS method and traditional one.

The Discrete Element Method (DEM) is widely used in computational granular dynamics. The DEM is a Lagrangian approach where individual particle is calculated based on the Newton's second law of motion. Hence, the DEM enables us to investigate the granular flow characteristics at the particle level. On the other hand, the DEM has a difficulty to be used in large-scale powder systems because the calculation cost becomes too expensive when the number of particles is huge. Consequently, we have developed a coarse grain modeling as a large scale model of the DEM. The coarse grain particle represents a group of original particles. The coarse grain model was applied in typical gas-solid and solid-liquid two phase flows. The cohesive force like the van der Waals force was not considered in these simulations. In the present study, the coarse grain model is evolved to simulate the cohesive particles by considering the interparticle van der Waals force. The adequacy of the coarse grain model is proved by comparing the simulation results of original particle system. It is shown that the coarse grain model considering the interparticle force can simulate the original particle behavior precisely.

In industrial arena, there are many solid-liquid two phase flow systems like mixing vessels, glass furnaces, solid-liquid separation equipments, etc. Numerical simulations are promising approach to understand the phenomena. Numerical analyses by the Eulerian-Lagrangian approach were performed in the past studies. The Eulerian-Lagrangian methods were applied to various solid-liquid flow systems without the free surfaces. On the other hand, numerical models which can treat the solid-liquid flows involving free surface were hardly developed so far. Hence, in the current study, we develop a Lagrangian-Lagrangian coupling methods to perform the fast simulation of the solid-liquid flows. The liquid phase were modeled by the Explicit Moving Particle Simulation (E-MPS) method. The E-MPS method can simulate the free surface flows easily. The DEM / E-MPS method was applied to a solid-liquid flow in a pipeline. The simulations were performed by changing the acoustic velocity. The simulation results, namely, the solid particle distribution, pressure and fluid velocity were compared in the present study. The DEM / E-MPS method is shown to make possible to perform the fast simulation by assuaging the acoustic velocity.
