Dynamic behavior of unsteady turbulent motion in pipe flows of dense gas-solid suspensions

Unsteady stratified motions in dense gas-solid suspension in horizontal pipe flows at low velocities have been observed, but the means for predicting these motions are lacking. For a dense suspension, the effects of particle-particle interaction, the damping of fluid motion by particles and the phase interactions between the dense phase and dilute phase have to be studied by relating both averaged and statistical properties of the phases. A complete set of instrumentation and methods were initiated and updated to quantify the nature of fluctuating motions in the dense suspensions.
