Abstract

Based on the momentum and constitutive equations, the modified Orr-Sommerfeld equation describing the flow stability in a cylindrical particle two-phase flow was derived. For a cylindrical particle two-phase boundary layer, the neutral stability curves and critical Reynolds number were given with numerical simulation. The results show that the cylindrical particles have a suppression effect on the flow instability, the larger the particle volume fraction and the particle aspect-ratio are, the more obvious the suppression effect is.
