Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of fluid mechanics and multiphase flow simulation, and in particular to an LBM-IBM simulation method for surfactant-responsive flotation bubble slip flow. Background Art

[0002] In the flotation separation process, bubbles are important carriers of mineral particles, and their interfacial dynamic behavior has a direct impact on the separation efficiency. Especially in the presence of surfactants, the spatial distribution and temporal changes of surfactants on the interface will significantly affect the slip behavior of bubbles and the local flow field structure.

[0003] To address this issue, researchers have recently introduced coupled simulation strategies based on the Lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) and the Immersed Boundary Method (IBM). Leveraging the LBM's strengths in solving complex flow structures and the IBM's capabilities in modeling interfacial motion, these methods numerically characterize the behavior of bubble interfaces. These methods maintain good numerical stability when dealing with dynamic boundaries and shear forces between gas and liquid phases, and exhibit a degree of scalability. Consequently, they are widely used in the simulation of microscale flotation fluid processes.

[0004] Although existing methods can achieve slip velocity estimation of interfacial fluids and modeling of fluid-interface interactions to a certain extent, most methods only use the surfactant concentration field as an additional term in the boundary conditions, failing to form a closed-loop mechanism between interfacial concentration evolution, shear stress response, and slip velocity feedback.

[0005] Especially under complex working conditions where the interface concentration changes significantly and the fluid has non-uniform disturbances, the existing model has difficulty in synchronously updating the position and concentration state of the bubble interface and cannot fully reflect the impact of surfactant transport behavior on the formation mechanism of bubble slip flow.

[0006] In addition, some methods ignore the feedback regulation effect of interfacial adsorption / desorption behavior on local concentration evolution, which makes the simulation results prone to numerical deviations under high concentration gradient conditions, affecting the accuracy and physical consistency of the simulation.

[0026] The surfactant concentration is obtained and updated based on the characterization equation.

[0027] Furthermore, the logic for calculating the shear stress at the bubble interface is:

[0029] Expressed as: , where is the interfacial shear stress, is the dynamic viscosity of the fluid, is the tangential velocity component on the bubble interface, is the gradient of the tangential velocity along the normal direction.

This in turn improves the ability to express the distribution characteristics of physical quantities within the fluid, thereby enhancing the perception of interfacial dynamic behavior. Furthermore, by introducing interfacial adsorption / desorption source terms to feedback-regulate the surfactant concentration field, the concentration evolution is made responsive to the transport effects of bubble interfaces, effectively enhancing the spatiotemporal consistency of the simulation of mass transfer behavior driven by changes in interfacial activity.

[0044] Furthermore, when dealing with interfacial mass transfer problems, the present invention establishes a feedback model based on the Langmuir adsorption model and the convection-diffusion mechanism to achieve continuous tracking of the changes in surfactant concentration on the bubble interface with diffusion, tangential velocity and adsorption state, thereby improving the response accuracy to the evolution law of interfacial shear stress and slip velocity, thereby enhancing the dynamic update capability of local interfacial velocity boundary changes.

[0045] Furthermore, based on the immersed boundary method, the present invention constructs an interface-fluid coupling feedback pathway driven by a target velocity. This mapping of the boundary velocity, feedback force, and fluid velocity field is accomplished while the interface position changes over time. This synchronizes the physical movement of the bubble interface with the evolution of the interface concentration, thereby improving the ability to model the continuous evolution of interface behavior in flotation environments and ensuring the accuracy of coupled simulations of microscale interface mechanics and mass transfer characteristics under dynamic conditions. These components form a complete feedback loop for the coupled effects of the bubble interface physical behavior and the flow field, maintaining physical consistency throughout the entire process.

[0046] In summary, the present invention realizes the synchronous feedback of the dynamic response of the bubble interface and the flow field evolution during the flotation process by constructing an LBM-IBM simulation mechanism that couples the change of surfactant concentration with the slip behavior of the bubble interface, effectively improving the numerical analysis capability of the fine evolution characteristics of the interface slip flow.
