description The collection of seabed ore particles is a core technology of exploiting deep sea mineral resources, with wall-attached jet collection technology based on Coandă-effect being considered as a nodule collection method with engineering application potential. Based on the experimentally verified CFD-DEM numerical simulation, the optimization of geometric parameters of the collection device is conducted to improve pick-up efficiency. The influences of three geometric parameters, i.e., the ratio of the curvature radius of the convex curved wall to the diameter of the nodule particle R/d, the tangential radian of the jet θ, and the ratio of the thickness of the jet to the diameter of the nodule b/d on the critical unconditional jet flow rate q0, are investigated and compared. The nodule collection characteristics are revealed through an analysis of the flow field characteristics. The results show that b/d has the greatest influence on the pick-up efficiency, followed by R/d, while θ has the least. The performance of nodule collection is optimal when R/d=9, θ=1.05 rad, and b/d=0.26 in contrast conditions. This research provides technical support for designing and developing the Coandă-effect-based collection devices.
