One-fluid description of turbulently flowing suspension

Chaotic Dynamics 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

We suggested a one-fluid model of a turbulent dilute suspension which accounts for the ``two-way'' fluid-particle interactions by kk-dependent effective density of suspension and additional damping term in the Navier-Stokes equation. We presented analytical description of the particle modification of turbulence including scale invariant suppression of a small kk part of turbulent spectrum (independent of the particle response time) and possible enhancemenent of large kk region [up to the factor (1+ϕ)2/3(1+\phi)^{2/3}]. Our results are in agreement with qualitative picture of isotropic homogeneous turbulence of dilute suspensions previously observed in laboratory and numerical experiments.
