Abstract

This paper studied the ability and accuracy of a commonly used Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stocks (RANS) turbulence model, i.e. RNG κ-ε model combined with a Lagrangian discrete random walk (DRW) model to predict particle deposition in vertical and horizontal turbulent duct flows. The performance of RNG κ-ε mode in its original form and with near-wall correction was tested. A new and simple correction measure to turbulence kinetic energy was proposed for RNG κ-ε model. It was found that RNG κ-ε model greatly over-predicts the deposition velocity in its original form. The near-wall modification proposed in this paper is able to improve the simulation results on deposition. With the near-wall correction measure, RNG κ-ε model can reflect the V-shape deposition of micro- and nanometer particles.
