Turbulence Characteristics and Interaction between Particles and Fluid in Particle-Laden Open Channel Flows
Publication: Journal of Hydraulic Engineering
Volume 130, Issue 10
Abstract
Mechanism of sediment transport is composed of complicated interactions between turbulent flow, particle motion, and bed configurations. Of particular significance is the interaction between turbulence and particle motion, although turbulence measurements of particle-laden two phase flow have been a problem for a long time, especially in the near-wall region. In this study, simultaneous measurements of both the particles and fluid (water) were conducted in particle-laden two phase open channel flows by means of a discriminator particle-tracking velocimetry. The mean velocity and turbulence characteristics for fluid and particles each were examined in comparison with those in clear-water (particle-free) flow, together with previous existing data measured by laser Doppler anemometer and phase Doppler anemometer. The relative velocity and the turbulence modulation, which are the most important topics in two phase-flow approach, were revealed by varying the particle diameter and specific density. The fluid-sweeps are more contributory to the motion of particles than the fluid ejections in the near-wall region. In turn, the particle-sweeps transport the high momentum to the carrier fluid and enhance the turbulence intensities of fluid.
