Abstract

The gas and particle phase in a two-phase plane mixing layer flow are numerically simulated using the discrete vortex method and a trajectory tracking method. It is shown that the number of vortex elements contained in two semi-infinite discrete vortex sheet and the method of generating control volumes for statistical calculation of the particle phase have important effects on the predicted results of particle phase, especially for quantitative prediction. By adopting different number of vortex elements for two semi-infinite discrete vortex sheet and overlapping the control volumes, predicted results including streamwise velocity, fluctuating velocity and Reynolds shear stress of both phases are obtained and agree well with experimental measurements quantitatively. It shows that the discrete vortex method can achieve the accurate quantitative simulation of two-phase flow.
