Abstract
The structure of gas-droplet polydisperse jet was studied experimentally and numerically. Experiments were carried out using the Particle Image Velocimetry/Particle Tracking Velocimetry/Interferometric Particle Imaging methods, which allowed simultaneous measurements of parameters for the average and pulsation carrying and disperse phases. Gas phase turbulence was calculated using the model of Reynolds stresses transfer. Significantly non-isotropic character of velocity pulsation of particles along and across the section of the gas-droplet jet was demonstrated in experiments and calculations. Strong dependence of axial pulsations of disperse phase velocity on the size of its particles is observed.
