The modification of Zaichik particle Reynolds stress transport model for turbulent particle-laden flows is developed taking into account the clustering phenomenon of inertial particles. The main novelty is the new boundary condition for the particle Reynolds stress, which is posed at some distance from the wall in the viscous sublayer and is consistent with the power-law singularity of particle concentration at the wall. The modified model avoids the spurious bifurcation of the solution, which observed for non-modified Zaichik model with the near-equilibrium wall boundary condition.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
