The immersed boundary method was applied to investigate particle-laden flow passing a 10×11 staggered stainless tube bank in a duct at different Stokes numbers. The dispersion of coal ash particles and the tube erosion yielded by the flow were studied in detail. The interactions between tubes and flow were simulated using the immersed boundary technique. The trajectories of the particles were tracked through the Lagrangian approach with two-way coupling. The results show that the particles at different Stokes numbers have quite different dispersion patterns
leading to different tube erosion characteristics. Particles at larger Stokes number cause more erosion on the first row of tubes. However
only slight erosion occurs when St=0.01 and 0.1
and particles cause the smallest erosion on the first row of tubes when St=0.1. More attention should be paid to the anti-erosion of the tubes near the side walls where mass erosion is greater than that of the tubes in the middle.
