Abstract

A numerical calculation is carried out by the finite-difference method based on proposed equations for a turbulent submerged jet containing an admixture of solid particles. The relative longitudinal particle velocity and the influence of particles on the turbulence intensity are taken into account. The calculated results adequately agree with available experimental data. A turbulent two-phase jet is examined in [1] on the basis of the theory for a variable density jet, assuming equal mean velocities for the gas and particles and not considering the influence of particles on the turbulence intensity. Particles are analogously taken into account by a noninertial gas mixture in [2, 3], and a particle Schmidt number of 1.1 is assumed in [4]. A model is proposed in [5] which takes into account the influence of particles on the turbulence intensity of the gas phase. Problems concerning the initial and main sections of a submerged jet were solved in [6] by the integral method on the basis of this model and the assumed equality of the mean velocities of the gas and particles. Turbulent mixing of homogeneous two-phase flows with allowance made for dynamic nonequilibrium of the phases is considered in [7]. However, the neglect of turbulent transfer of particle mass and momentum led to a physically unrealistic solution for the particle concentration in the far field of the mixture. A two-phase jet is considered in the present work on the basis of the theory of a two-velocity continuous medium [8, 9] with allowance made for turbulent transfer of particle mass and momentum. The influence of particles on the turbulence intensity of the gas phase is taken into account with the model of [5].
