The normalized quadrature method of moments coupled with finite pointset method

Abstract

This work reports the numerical performance of the Normalized Quadrature Method of Moments (NQMOM) involving more than one quadrature node (secondary particle) for dispersed phase flows coupled with the Finite Pointset Method (FPM). At first, the model used for the dispersed phase acting in a continuous environment is discussed briefly, followed by a theoretical discussion of NQMOM and FPM. Further sections report the numerical performance for test problems with increasing difficulty.
