Abstract
The interaction between particles and fluid turbulence in dilute suspensions is studied in this work. It is done by dividing the problem into two separate issues where the first one treats the response of a particle to fluid turbulence and the second one the modification of fluid turbulence caused by the particles. The ideas developed on the basis of these two issues are then used to analyse the transversal mixing rate of a passive scalar in an upward fully developed flow of a gas-particle suspension. Special interest in this case is in the capability of the gradient-diffusion model to predict the experimentally obtained changes in the mixing rate. The intention of this work is to indicate the most important parameters of the particle-turbulence interaction with their individual effects. It is done on the base of currently available and verified results intentionally avoiding advanced speculations. Because of the long term interest in a common frame-work of dilute and dense suspension the emphasis is on an Eulerian approach. The governing phenomenon in the turbulent dispersion of particles is the effect of crossing trajectories caused by the drift velocity. The resulting particle diffusion coefficient is considerably lower than the corresponding fluid point diffusion
