OF EQUATIONS FOR TRANSFER OF PARTICLE PULSATION CHARACTERISTICS FOR CALCULATING TWO-PHASE FLOWS IN THE STABILIZED SECTION OF A TUBE
B. B. Rokhman UDC 532.529:662.62 A stationary isothermal system of equations defining the behavior of a two-phase rising flow in the region of steady motion of a gas suspension in an axially symmetric channel has been developed. The equation of motion of the carrying medium is closed using a one-parameter model of turbulence, and the equation of momentum transfer in the dispersed phase is closed with the use of the equations for the second, third, and fourth moments of the pulsation velocities of the particles. The main mechanisms of two-phase turbulent flows were numerically investigated.
