Abstract

Based on the spectral expansion of Euler correlation of the carrier medium the authors have obtained a closed system of functional equations for the Lagrange spectra of heavy inertial particles and the velocity fluctuations of the carrier medium on the particle trajectory. To split the fourth moments the approximation of quasinormality and velocity fluctuations of particles is performed by a random Gaussian process. The approximate self-consistent method is proposed for solving the resulting system of functional equations. The spectrum of Euler correlations of medium velocity fluctuations is modeled by Saffman and Karman distributions. The influence of the spatial microstructure of turbulence, the particles inertia and velocity slip on the intensity of chaotic motion and the coefficient of turbulent diffusion of dispersed particles has been studied.
