This paper studies the turbulence modification caused by the presence of solid particles in fully developed channel flow by means of the point particle Direct Numerical Simulations (DNS) approach. Inertial particles much smaller than the smallest vortical flow structures are considered, maintaining a volume fraction of the order , where inter-particle collisions are rare and have nearly no influence on flow development. To avoid concurrent effects that could mask the analysis of fluid turbulence interaction, gravity is not included in the study, and particle-smooth wall collisions are modelled as ideal reflections. The alteration of fluid turbulence dynamics by the particles is illustrated and discussed, providing an overview of the fluid-particle interaction phenomena occurring at both microscopic and macroscopic flow levels. Finally, the relation of such phenomena with drag-reducing effects by particles is demonstrated.
Este artículo estudia la modificación de la turbulencia de la fase portadora debido a la presencia de partículas sólidas en un flujo en canal totalmente desarrollado utilizando la aproximación de Simulación Numérica Directa (DNS) con partículas puntuales. Las partículas inerciales consideradas son mucho más pequeñas que la menor de las estructuras vorticales turbulentas, manteniendo una fracción volumétrica del orden de , en la cual las colisiones entre partículas son esporádicas y apenas tienen influencia en el desarrollo del flujo. Con el fin de evitar efectos simultáneos que puedan enmascarar el análisis de la interacción fluido-partícula, no se incluyen los efectos gravitatorios en el estudio, y las colisiones partícula-pared lisa se modelan como reflexiones ideales. Se ilustra y discute la alteración de la dinámica turbulenta del fluido por parte de las partículas, proporcionando un panorama de los fenómenos de interacción fluido-partícula a nivel microscópico y macroscópico. Finalmente, se muestra la relación de los fenómenos descritos con los efectos de reducción de arrastre causados por las partículas en el flujo en canal.
