摘要
A three-dimensional (3D) Reynolds stress turbulence model based on 3D Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations has been elaborated for grid-generated turbulence in particulate downward flow arranged in the channel domain of the square cross section. The model presented considers both the enhancement and attenuation of turbulence by means of the additional terms of the transport equations of the normal Reynolds stress components. It allows us to carry out calculations covering the long distance of the channel length without using algebraic assumptions for various components of the Reynolds stress. The results obtained show the effects of particles and mesh size of the turbulence generating grids on turbulence modification. In particular, the presence of solid particles at the initial period of turbulence decay results in the pronounced enhancement of turbulence that diminishes appreciably downwards in the area of typical channel turbulent flow. As the results show, the character of modification of all three normal components of the Reynolds stress taking place at the initial period of turbulence decay are uniform almost all over the channel cross sections. The increase in the grid mesh size slows down the rate of the turbulence enhancement which is caused by particles.
