A JOINT FLUCTUATION VELOCITY PDF TRANSPORT EQUATION OF TWO-PHASE FLOWS

The probability density distribution function (PDF) is one of important methods for developing the two-phase turbulence model. In the PDF method, for developing the joint PDF equation of two-phase velocity correlation, the key point is to propose a Langevin-type equation of the fluid velocity seen by particles, as a closure assumption of the PDF transport equation. In this paper, at first the Langevin equation of fluid fluctuation velocity seen by particles is exactly derived on the basis of the Navier-Stokes equations and the continuity equation of the gas phase with the help of Reynolds averaging scheme. This equation includes the increment due to the particle displacement relative to the fluid element path, and thus it is more accurate than the equations suggested by other researchers. Then, analysis on the error of bias associated with the Langevin equation for the instantaneous velocity seen and our derived Langevin equation is carried out. The results indicate the superiority of the Langevin equation for the fluid-particle fluctuation velocity compared with that for the instantaneous fluid-particle velocity in the following three aspects: All the interested correlations as well as their corresponding biases are independent of the number N of the samples representing the fluid field; Our equation does not require the time-averaging technique, so it will reduce the cost of computation; And the numerical solution of the equations is convergent regardless of the values of a, which is very important to the numerical simulation. Finally, a joint PDF transport equation for the fluid-particle fluctuation velocities is obtained.
