Abstract
Lagrangian and Eulerian models for particle transport by a turbulent fluid phase are presented. In both methods, particle distribution results from the action of applied forces (buoyancy, inertial, added mass and drag forces) and turbulent effects are shown. The carrier phase flow – which is solved by finite element method using a k–ε turbulence model – is assumed not to depend on the particles' motion. In the Lagrangian formulation the dynamic equation for the particles is solved. A discrete random walk model is used to account for the turbulent effects. In the Eulerian formulation, the particle concentration is calculated from a convection–diffusion equation using the terminal particles' velocity and turbulent diffusivity. Both models are compared to experimental measurements and analytical results; a good agreement is observed.
