Simulation of turbulent solid-laden gas flow

The study of micro and nano particle-laden multiphase flow has received much attention due to its occurrence in a wide range of industrial and natural phenomena. Many of these flows are multi-dimensional systems involving strong mass, momentum and energy transfer between carrying fluid and particulate phase. This study presents a computational model for Lagrangian simulation of particle transport, dispersion and deposition. The instantaneous fluctuating velocities are simulated using a Langevin model. Finite volume method is used to tackle the steady state conservation of mass, momentum and k-ε equations.
