13. DATES COVERED (From -To) This report studies the dynamics of particle-laden turbulent flows. Specifically, it addresses the effect of the turbulence on the concentration field and drift velocity of spherical particles. The coupling between the particle accumulation and the modification of the drift velocity of spherical particles. The coupling between the particle accumulation and the modification of the drift velocity is also investigated. Turbulent flows with and without mean shear are analyzed and the effect of the turbulent length scales on the behavior of the particles is described. The effect of the density ratio between the disperse and the continuous phase was considered in the two extreme cases of water droplets in air (1000) and air bubbles in water (1/1000).
SUBJECT TERMSShared turbulence laden with bubbles or droplets. Dynamics of particle-laden turbulent flows.
