Numerical simulation of gas turbulence enhancement by particle-wake effect*

A new turbulence enhancement model was incorporated into the second-order moment two-phase turbulence model and was used to simulate gas-particle flows in swirling chambers and channels with different wall roughness. The results show that compared with the turbulence modification model not accounting for the wake effect, this model, together with the conventional particle source term, gives simulation results in better agreement with the experimental data.
