Abstract

A Monte Carlo method coupled with large eddy simulation is employed to study nanoparticle evolution in a confined impinging jet. The transient and discrete particle distributions and the time-averaged particle number density distributions can be obtained. The results show that the coherent structure evolution has large effect on the particle dispersion pattern and the particle diameter distributions.
