MODELING OF DYNAMICS, HEAT-TRANSFER, AND COMBUSTION IN 2-PHASE TURBULENT FLOWS .2. FLOWS WITH HEAT-TRANSFER AND COMBUSTION

The objective of this part of the paper is to summarize the informatio n concerning the authors' works in the field of simulation of two-phas e gas-particle turbulent flows with heat transfer and combustion. A ki netic equation had been derived for the probability density function ( PDF) of the particle velocity, temperature, and mass distributions in turbulent flows. This PDF equation is used for the construction of the governing conservation equations of mass, momentum, and heat transfer in the dispersed particle phase. The numerical scheme incorporates tw o-phase fluid dynamics, convective and radiative heat transfer, and co mbustion. The proposed models have been applied to the calculation of various particle-laden turbulent flows in jets, combustion and gasific ation chambers, and furnaces. (C) Elsevier Science Inc., 1997.
