Abstract
Abstract A developed momentum transfer coefficient based on Wen’s 1966 model was proposed, in which the two threshold values were used to keep the continuous particle porosity function. A second-order moment gas–particle two-fluid turbulent model that coupled this coefficient, was established to model and simulate the particle horizontal channel flows. An improved Reynolds stresses transport to close fluctuation velocities correlation between gas and particle phases was set to reveal the fully anisotropic characteristics of particle dispersions. The hydrodynamics of horizontal gas–particle turbulent flow was numerically simulated and validated by experimental measurement with satisfied agreements. Distributions of particle Reynolds stresses are significantly affected by two-phase interactions, turbulent diffusions and particle collisions. Much wider size and flatter profiles distributions were obtained in terms of the horizontal and vertical root-means-square of particle velocities in comparison with Wen’s 1966 model.
