Abstract
The solid particle dispersion in saltating motion is studied in an homogeneous turbulence and in a turbulent boundary layer. The fluid velocity along the particle trajectory is estimated using a continuous stochastic differential equation in which the correlation integral time takes into account gravity and inertia effects. As far as the boundary layer is concerned, the aerodynamic entrainment of particles and the rebound are modelised as random variables with Gaussian probability density functions. Compared with experimental results, the numerical results show good agreement for dispersion, although velocity fluctuations are slightly under evaluated. To cite this article: C. Aguirre et al., C. R. Mecanique 332 (2004).
