Abstract
The results of an experimental investigation of the effect of particles on decaying grid-generated turbulence in a downward vertical turbulent gas-particle flow are presented. The dispersed particles were glass spheres with a mean size of 700 μm. Titanium dioxide particles with a mean size of 2 μm were used as the particle-markers modeling the carrier-medium flow. The turbulence was generated by grids with square cells of two sizes (4.8 and 10 mm) and an impenetrability parameter equal to 0.49 at a mean flow velocity equal to 9.5 m/s. The grid Reynolds numbers were 3000 and 6300. The damping of turbulence by the particles, manifested in an increase in the turbulence decay rate (viscous dissipation) and a decrease in the turbulence energy in the power-consuming spectral band, was detected.
