Turbulent Particle Dispersion Modeling with PDF Equation Based on Langevin Equation of Fluid Velocity
-
Abstract
A Langevin equation of fluctuating velocity of fluid ‘seen’ by particle is simplified in Minier's model.Autocorrelation of turbulence fluctuating velocity is obtained,which has non-isotropic property.Corresponding PDF model of particle is obtained and a simplified form is used to predict turbulent particle dispersion in grid-generating turbulence flow.PDF model is solved analytically and solutions are compared with experimental results of Wells and Stock.
