Abstract

The present study investigates, by the use of Large Eddy Simulation (LES), a turbulent, droplet laden mixing layer and focuses on the preferential concentration of the dispersed phase. A Lagrangian formulation is adopted for the dispersed phase coupled with an Eulerian description for the carrier phase. A stochastic model has been used for the representation of the sub-grid scales on the particle motion. Sensitivity analysis on the effect of the dispersion constants was conducted. Results showed good agreement with measurements, demonstrating that the characteristics of the flow are well captured.
