NUMERICAL INVESTIGATION OF PARTICLES TURBULENT DISPERSION IN CHANNEL FLOW

Abstract

This paper investigates the performance of Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes odel on dispersion of particles in wall turbulence. A direct numerical simulation f wall-bounded channel flow with particles suspensions was set as a enchmark. The standard k-ω model coupled with two different eddy interaction odels was used in Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes model and compared to he direct numerical simulation. Detailed comparisons between direct numerical imulation and Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes model on particle distribution volving over time were carried out.
