Abstract: In order to explain the liquid-solid two-phase flow mechanism of ellipsoidal particles in the tubular heat exchanger, based on the CFD-DEM coupling method, the effect of the length-diameter ratio β and the particle volume fraction α of the ellipsoid particles on the particle distribution and motion characteristics were simulated and analyzed in the vertical upward heat transfer tube. The relative velocities of liquid-solid two phases after stable motion were analyzed, and the slip coefficient was used to quantify the evolution of the particle following. The results show that the radial distribution of particles on the cross section is similar at any time during the dynamic stability period, and when the particles move from bottom to top with the fluid, they slowly approach the wall in the radial direction of the tube, and the relative particle volume fraction in the center of the tube become lower. The slip coefficient of ellipsoidal particles is greater than that of spherical particles, when β is 1.5, the slip coefficient of ellipsoidal particles reaches the greatest.
