INTRODUCTION
To determine the extent to which the particles are entrained in the pulsations of
the turbulent carrier flow, the correlation moments containing the velocity pulsations
and concentrations of the solid phase must be related to the properties of the gaseous
phase. In most studies, for example, [1--3], the corresponding expressions are obtained
in the framework of a locally homogeneous approximation - the second moments of the
pulsations of the variables of the solid phase are expressed directly in terms of the
Reynolds stresses for the coefficient of turbulent viscosity of the gas at the same point
Of space. The locally homogeneous approximation is valid for relatively fine particles
(whose relaxation time is less than the characteristic time scale of the turbulence)
provided there are no large velocity gradients in the flow. However, in the wall region
of the flow, the approach based on description of the pulsation properties of the par-
ticles in the locally homogeneous representation may lead to serious errors. This is
due to the circumstance that, on the one hand, the flow in the wall region is character-
ized by large gradients of the averaged velocity and of the turbulent energy of the gaseous
phase, and, on the other, the particles are relatively more substantial (inertial) due
to the decrease in the turbulence time scale near the wall.

where U k and u~ are the averaged and pulsation components of the gas velocity, F k is the

The coefficients of entrainment f and g of the particles in the pulsations of the

and have the form

The terms on the left-hand side of Eq. (1.7) describe, respectively, the variation
in time, the convective transport, generation from the averaged motion, and diffusion
of the turbulent stresses in the solid phase; the terms on the right-hand side of (1.7)
describe the generation and dissipation of pulsations of the particles as a result of
their interaction with the energy-bearing turbulent eddies and due to Brownian motion.
Under the assumption that the terms on the left-hand side of (1.7) are unimportant, we
deduce from it
<v+'v/>=/<u+'~'>+DSij~ (1.8)
which expresses the condition of local equilibrium between the generation of the pulsa-
tion energy of the particles from the turbulent and thermal energy of the carrier flow
and its dissipation.
With allowance for (1.8), the diffusion tensor of the particles in the locally homo-
geneous approximation is the sum of the turbulent diffusion tensor of the inertialess
mixture and the Brownian diffusion coefficient:
Allowance for the nonlocal effects due to the convective and diffusion transport
mechanisms, which have an important influence on the stress and diffusion tensors of
the particles in the wall region, can be made by solving Eq. (1.6) or (1.7). The equa-
tion for the third moments of the solid-phase velocity, which determine the diffusion
transport in the equation for the second moments, can be obtained from (i.i) and has
the form

2. In the wall region the flow is nearly one dimensional (the flow characteristics
vary mainly in the direction y perpendicular to the surface), and consequently the system
of equations simplifies appreciably, and relatively simple solutions can be obtained.
For the mass balance and correlations of the components normal to the wall, we obtain
from Eqs. (1.3), (1.4), (1.6), and (1.8) in the steady case

Such a farmulation of the problem presupposes the existence of a constant external
flux Jw that compensates the loss of particles due to precipitation on the wall (Jw =

takes the form

The first term on the right-hand side of (2.6) describes the diffusion mechanism
Of transport due to the gradient of the energy of the particles, while the second is
due to the convective transport mechanism. Taking into account (2.6), we obtain from
(2.3) a closed equation for the second moment:

directly. In [7, 8] it is assumed that on the wall and in its neighborhood the distribu-
tion of the particles with respect to Vy is nearly normal, and the corresponding correc-
tions are found from perturbation-theory series. A similar approach makes it possible
to determine the boundary condition for Brownian particles [9]. Another approach involves
the introduction of a model distribution function [i0] and subsequent determination of
the necessary coefficients, either from the moment equations or directly from the equation
for P.
We use the hypothesis of a binormal distribution:

Such a form of the distribution is close to the one obtained by numerical solution
of the one-dimensional Fokker--Planck equation [ii] and is a special case of quasinormal
distribution. Note that the variance of the distribution is not determined by the pulsa-
tions of the carrier medium but is an intrinsic characteristic of the particles. From
the following normalization, we have

wall region of the flow.

To construct an analytic solution, we linearize Eq. (4.1), setting ~=~ in the

In Fig. i, we compare the solution (4.2), (4.3) (continuous curves) with the results
of numerical solution of Eq. (4.1) (broken curves). It can be seen that there is good
agreement between the approximate analytic solution and the exact numerical solution.
At large distances from the wall, the concentration of the Brownian particles can
be determined from the solution of the ordinary diffusion equation diC/dy = = 0 with
boundary condition of the third kind (dC/dy) w = Cw/A, which effectively takes into account
the wall effects. The Milne extrapolation length A = aJ~-D can be obtained by matching
in the limit y § ~ to the solution (4.2), which gives a=~/J0. For a completely absorb-

Logarithmic Layer of Turbulent Flow. In this zone of turbulent wall flow (the re-
gion in which the "logarithmic wall law" holds [4]) the Brownian motion can be ignored,
the intensity of the turbulent pulsations of the gas is constant, <u~2> = ~u~, and the
time scale of the turbulence is proportional to the distance from the wall: T=~ylu,,
where u, is the dynamic velocity, $ = I.i, and • = 0.4 is the Prandtl--von K~rmgn constant.
The relation for T follows from the expression for the turbulent diffusion coefficient
of an inertialess admixture in the logarithmic layer:

where ~,=• is the coefficient of turbulent viscosity, and Sc t = i/$ = 0.9 is the

With allowance for these relations and (1.2), Eqs. (2.5) and (2.7) with the bound-
ary conditions (3.3) and (3.5) take in the dimensionless variables the form
Since Eq. (4.4) contains a small parameter multiplying the highest derivative, the
problem can be solved by the method of matched asymptotic expansions. The exterior solu-
tion of Eq. (4.4), obtained in the limit s § 0 and valid far from the wall, will be

The time scale of the turbulence at a distance from the wall of order 6 can be taken
to be constant: T = ~6/u,, ~ ~ i. In this case, the problem of calculating the dis-
tributions of the characteristics of the particles in the transverse direction (without
allowance for the Brownian motion) takes the form
We restrict ourselves to solution of Eqs. (4.10) and (4.11) for the case of a wall
that reflects the particles (X = i). In the region 0 < ~ < I Eq. (4.10) takes the form
With allowance for the boundary condition (p~'=O, Eq. (4.12) has two solutions:
Setting in the denominator of the second term of (4.15) ~ = ~ (where (~, is the value
of ~ for q = i), we obtain an approximate solution in the form

Figure 4 gives the distributions of the intensity of the particle velocity pulsa-
tions in accordance with the solutions (4.13), (4.16), (4.18) and (4.14), (4.16), (4.19)
for ~ u 2 = i (curves i--5 correspond to T o = 0.5, 1.5, 2.62, 5, I0). The dependence
of the pulsation intensity ~ at the wall on the parameter T o characterizing the inertia
of the particles is given in Fig. 5. The value T o = 2.62 is the point of transition
from the one type of solution to the other: the solution (4.13) holds for T o < 2.62
in the region 0 < q < I, and the solution (4.14) holds for ~0 > 2.62.
Thus, the pulsation energy of fine particles in the viscous sublayer is zero, while
the pulsation intensity of inertial particles in the viscous sublayer and at the wall
itself is nonzero. The presence of velocity pulsations of the solid phase in the viscous
sublayer could be obtained only on the basis of the nonlocal theory and is explained
by the diffusion mechanism of transport of pulsations from the turbulent region of the
flow due to the inertia of the particles.
In conclusion we note that under real conditions one of the three considered sub-
regions will be the most important, this depending on the size of the particles. Large
particles, for which the structure of the flow near the wall is unimportant, satisfy
the dependences noted above. Smaller particles, moving in the direction to the boundary,
do not preserve information about the core of the flow, and their behavior is deter-
mined by the manner in which the pulsations of the carrier phase vary in the wall region.
Finally, for the description of the finest particles the effects due to Brownian dif-
fusion must be taken into account.
