TY - JOUR TI - Numerical investigation of particles turbulent dispersion in channel flow AU - Li Tian AU - Zhao Li-Hao AU - Ku Xiao-Ke AU - Andersson Helge AU - Lovas Terese JN - Thermal Science PY - 2012 VL - 16 IS - 5 SP - 1510 EP - 1514 PT - Article AB - This paper investigates the performance of Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes model on dispersion of particles in wall turbulence. A direct numerical simulation of wall-bounded channel flow with particles suspensions was set as a benchmark. The standard k-ω model coupled with two different eddy interaction models was used in Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes model and compared to the direct numerical simulation. Detailed comparisons between direct numerical simulation and Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes model on particle distribution evolving over time were carried out.
