Study of the effect of particles on the kinetic parameters of a turbulent two-phase flow

Numerical simulations using a two-fluid Eulerian model were performed for two-dimensional axisymmetric jets from a circular 20 mm diameter nozzle. The particle size vary between 30 and 180 μm and the particle charge ranges from 0.1 to 1. The modulations of the flow structures and the turbulent characteristics of the gas flow due to the solid particles with different sizes and rates of particle loading are studied. The jet spread and the decay of...
