Deposition from particle-laden, plane, turbulent, buoyant jets
The paper, which was awarded the 2010 Karl Emil Hilgard Hydraulic Prize by the ASCE, resulted from an EPSRC grant (GR/S25128/01). It reports the results of a collaborative modelling study with the University of Manchester that identified, for the first time, (i) the distinctive roles of (a) re-entrainment of particles into turbulent, particulate-laden buoyant jets and (b) particle fall-out processes, (ii) the significance of near- and far-field flow dynamics for bottom-deposition particulate distributions . The paper demonstrates the ability of a bespoke CFD model to replicate quantitatively the experimentally-determined particle distribution functions over a wide parameter range.
