Dynamics of a charged gas suspension with an initial spatially nonuniform distribution of the average dispersed phase density during the transition to the equilibrium state

Abstract

© 2017, Pleiades Publishing, Ltd. Results of calculations are presented for the transition of a charged gas suspension from the initial nonequilibrium state with a spatially nonuniform distribution of the average density to a state with a uniform distribution of the average density and charge in a bounded volume. A numerical solution is obtained for the system of equations describing the motion of a polydisperse multirate and multitemperature gas suspension, the particles of which carry an electric discharge and create a self-consistent electric field.
