ABSTRACT
The fresh modification of the numerical method based on the Full Lagrangian Approach (FLA) is developed for calculation of particle-phase flow field in dilute gas-particles mixture flows. The collisionless "gas" of particles is treated as the continuum for which all basic equations including the continuity equation, the momentum equation and the energy equation are written in the Lagrangian coordinates. (The majority of researchers do not use the continuity equation in an explicit form changing it by some approximate relations. Such approach is also known as the Lagrangian one but it is not the FLA, of course.) When using the FLA one must calculate the components of the Jackobian of the Eulerian/Lagrangian transformation to obtain the density of the dispersed phase along particles' trajectories from the continuity equation. These components can be calculated by different ways, but in the present paper they are calculated by numerical differentiation of the Eulerian coordinates with respect to the Lagrangian ones using particles' parameters on several close trajectories. This way has advantages over any other one if the right-hand sides of the momentum and energy equations for a particle are very cumbersome. Such situation takes place for fine particles moving inside the non-isothermal boundary layer because of very complicated gas-particle interaction in this case, and it is studied in the paper. The developed method provides very high spatial resolution.
