The dispersion of a cloud of particles released in a fully developed pipe flow, using the code disco-1

Abstract

The mass transfer due to the dispersion of discrete particles in turbulent flows is modelled through the so-called non-discrete dispersive approach (N D D A). A computer program has been built corresponding to the above modelling and is here applied to the case of the behaviour of a cloud of water droplets released on the axis of a fully developed turbulent pipe flow.
