Is the kinetic equation for turbulent gas-particle flows ill-posed?
M. W. Reeks, D. C. Swailes, A. D. Bragg
This paper is about well-posedness and realizability of the kinetic equation for gas-particle flows and its relationship to the Generalized Langevin Model (GLM) PDF equation. Previ…
An LES study of turbulent flow over in-line tube-banks and comparison with experimental measurements
C. Jin, I. Potts, D. C. Swailes +1
Turbulent flow across an in-line array of tube-banks with transverse and longitudinal pitch PT /D = 2.67, and PL /D = 2.31, has been simulated successfully by Large Eddy Simulation…
The concept of particle pressure of a suspension of particles in a turbulent flow
Michael W. Reeks
The Clausius Virial theorem of Classical Kinetic Theory is used to evaluate the pressure of a suspension of small particles at equilibrium in an isotropic homogeneous and stationar…
Resuspension of Small Particles from Multilayer Deposits in Turbulent Boundary Layers
F. Zhang, M. Reeks, M. Kissane +1
We present a hybrid stochastic model for the resuspension of micron-size particles from multilayer deposits in a fully-developed turbulent boundary layer. The rate of removal of pa…
In search of random uncorrelated particle motion (RUM) in a simple random flow field
Michael W. Reeks, Luca Fabbro, Alfredo Soldati
DNS studies of dispersed particle motion in isotropic homogeneous turbulence [1] have revealed the existence of a component of random uncorrelated motion (RUM)dependent on the part…
Inertial-particle dynamics in turbulent flows: caustics, concentration fluctuations, and random uncorrelated motion
K. Gustavsson, E. Meneguz, M. Reeks +1
We discuss the relation between three recent approaches of describing the dynamics and the spatial distribution of particles suspended in turbulent flows: phase-space singularities…
Particle drift in turbulent flows: the influence of local structure and inhomogeneity
Michael W. Reeks
The way particles interact with turbulent structures, particularly in regions of high vorticity and strain rate, has been investigated in simulations of homogeneous turbulence and…
Particle Resuspension in Turbulent Boundary Layers and the Influence of Non-Gaussian Removal Forces
F. Zhang, M. Reeks, M. Kissane
The work described is concerned with the way micron-size particles attached to a surface are resuspended when exposed to a turbulent flow. An improved version of the Rock'n'Roll mo…
