Numerical Simulation on Distribution Characteristics of Particle Distribution Uniformity in a Radial Style Diesel Particulate Filter

In this paper three-dimensional mathematical model of gas-solid two-phase in a radial style diesel particulate filter (DPF) is established and flow computation software was used to simulating distribution characteristics of gas-solid two-phase and particle distribution uniformity. Several influence parameters such as flow velocity, divergence angle and particle diameter was investigated. Through the verification analysis, the simulation calculation results can reflect the laws of gas-solid two-phase flow inside this DPF .The results indicate that distribution uniformity of particle could be improved by reducing inlet velocity, divergence angle and particle diameter. The study is useful for structural parameters optimization designing and controlling particle regeneration of radial style diesel particulate filter.
