Modeling Approaches and Computational Methods for Particle-laden Turbulent Flows

Modelling Approaches and Computational Methods for Particle-laden Turbulent Flows introduces the principal phenomena observed in applications where turbulence in particle-laden flow is encountered and outlines the main methods of analyzing them numerically. It takes a practical approach, providing advice on how to select and apply the correct model or tool, drawing on the latest research to deliver this, but remaining focused on helping readers solve problems. Starting with a description of the mission of the book, it goes on to provide scales of particle-laden turbulence, and the principal analytical frameworks and computational approaches used to simulate particles in turbulent flow. Each chapter opens with a section on fundamental concepts and theory before describing the applications of the modelling approach or numerical method. Each chapter then provides detailed descriptions of the principles of a particular numerical method or modelling approach. Featuring explanations of key concepts, definitions, and fundamental physics and equations, as well as recent research advances and detailed simulation methods, this is the ideal starting point for students new to this subject, as well as an essential reference for experienced researchers. Provides a comprehensive introduction to the phenomena of particle laden turbulent flow Explains a wide range of numerical methods, including for Eulerian-Eulerian, Eulerian-Lagrange, and volume-filtered computation Describes a wide range of innovative applications of these models
