Popis: | Direct numerical simulation of liquid-gas-solid flows is uncommon due to the considerable computational cost. As the grid spacing is determined by the smallest involved length scale, large grid sizes become necessary -- in particular if the bubble-particle aspect ratio is on the order of 10 or larger. Hence, it arises the question of both feasibility and reasonability. In this paper, we present a fully parallel, scalable method for direct numerical simulation of bubble-particle interaction at a size ratio of 1-2 orders of magnitude that makes simulations feasible on currently available super-computing resources. With the presented approach, simulations of bubbles in suspension columns consisting of more than $100\,000$ fully resolved particles become possible. Furthermore, we demonstrate the significance of particle-resolved simulations by comparison to previous unresolved solutions. The results indicate that fully-resolved direct numerical simulation is indeed necessary to predict the flow structure of bubble-particle interaction problems correctly.
