Numerical Study on Turbulence Modification in Particle-Laden Pipe Flows

Article Preview

Abstract:

This investigation deals with the study on the processes involved in the phenomenon about turbulence modification in dilute gas-particle turbulent flows. The proposed model, along with other selected turbulence modification models from the literature, is used to simulate a particle-laden vertical pipe flow. The simulation results show that the new model provides improved predictions of the experimental data.
