| Abstract: | The equations for the second moments of the dispersed-phase velocity and temperature fluctuations are used for calculating gas-suspension jet flows within the framework of the Euler approach. The advantages of introducing the equations for the second moments of the particle velocity fluctuations has previously been quite convincingly demonstrated with reference to the calculation of two-phase channel boundary flows 9–11]. The flows considered below have a low solid particle volume concentration, so that interparticle collisions can be neglected and, consequently, the stochastic motion of the particles is determined exclusively by their involvement in the fluctuating motion of the carrier flow. In addition to the equations for the turbulent energy of the gas and its dissipation, the calculation scheme includes the equations for the turbulent energy and turbulent heat transfer of the solid phase; however, the model constructed does not contain additional empirical constants associated with the presence of the particles in the flow.Translated from Izvestiya Rossiiskoi Akademii Nauk, Mekhanika Zhidkosti i Gaza, No.3, pp. 69–80, May–June, 1992. |
