Abstract

Turbulence enhancement by particle wake effect is studied by numerical simulation of gas turbulent flows passing over particle under various particle sizes, inlet gas velocities, gas viscosity, gas density and the distance of particles. By performing dimension analysis and using the form of gas-particle interaction source term for reference, a new semi-empirical turbulence enhancement model by the particle-wake effect is proposed. The turbulence model is then incorporated into second-order moment model for simulating gas-particle flows in a horizontal channel with different wall roughness and a sudden-expansion chamber. The results show that this model is with higher calculating accuracy than another two turbulence models in comparison with the experimental results.
