Structure of particle-laden jets - Measurements and predictions

Measurements of mean and fluctuating velocities of both phases as well as particle mass fluxes were completed in turbulent, particle-laden jets containing monodisperse particles with well-defined initial and boundary conditions. The new measurements were used to evaluate a stochastic separated flow model of the process which treated effects of interphase slip and turbulent dispersion using random-walk computations for particle motion. The continuous phase was treated using a modified k-epsilon model allowing for direct contributions of interphase transport to both mean and turbulence properties. The model performed reasonably well over the new data base, with all empirical parameters fixed from earlier work. In contrast, simplified models ignoring either interphase slip or turbulent dispersion yielded poor agreement with the measurements.
