Abstract
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to conduct a detailed investigation of the two-dimensional
natural convection flow of a dusty fluid. Therefore, the incompressible boundary layer flow of a
two-phase particulate suspension is investigated numerically over a semi-infinite vertical flat plate.
Comprehensive flow formations of the gas and particle phases are given in the boundary layer
region. Primitive variable formulation is employed to convert the nondimensional governing
equations into the non-conserved form. Three important two-phase mechanisms are discussed,
namely, water-metal mixture, oil-metal mixture and air-metal mixture.
Design/methodology/approach – The full coupled nonlinear system of equations is solved using
implicit two point finite difference method along the whole length of the plate.
Findings – The authors have presented numerical solution of the dusty boundary layer problem.
Solutions obtained are depicted through the characteristic quantities, such as, wall shear stress
coefficient, wall heat transfer coefficient, velocity distribution and temperature distribution for both
phases. Results are interpreted for wide range of Prandtl number Pr (0.005-1,000.0). It is observed that
thin boundary layer structures can be formed when mass concentration parameter or Prandtl number
(e.g. oil-metal particle mixture) are high.
Originality/value – The results of the study may be of some interest to the researchers of the field
of chemical engineers.

1. Introduction
Engineering and technical fields contain many applications of flow of gas-particle
mixture. For instance, solid rocket exhaust nozzles, nuclear reactors with gas-solid
feeds, ablation cooling, blast waves moving over the Earth’s surface, conveying of
powdered materials, fluidized beds, environmental pollutants, petroleum industry,
purification of crude oil, physiological flows and other technological fields (see
Rudinger, 1980) are some of the practical problems where the dusty viscous flow found
its applications. Other important applications involving dust particles in boundary
layers include soil salvation by natural winds, lunar surface erosion by the exhaust of a
landing vehicle and dust entrainment in a cloud formed during a nuclear explosion.
Kazakevich and Krapivin experimentally investigated the aerodynamic resistance
in tube assemblies when the flow of a gas is dust laden. For this phenomenon, Saffman
(1962) suggested the model for theoretical investigation and formulated the basic
equations for the flow of dusty fluid. Since then many researchers have discussed the
problem related to dusty fluid. Marble (1962, 1963) studied the problem of dynamic of a
gas containing small solid particles. It was shown that for gas-particle flow systems,
HFF the particle clouds are governed by four similarity parameters each of which has a
25,7 simple physical significance.
Michael and Miller (1966) reported the solutions for two problems regarding the
motion of the dusty gas. They used the formulation derived (Saffman, 1962) and
assumed that the gas contains a uniform distribution of dust particles. In their analysis,
motion induced in the dusty gas was considered in the two cases when the plane moves
1544 parallel to itself: in simple harmonic motion; and impulsively from rest with uniform
velocity. The effect on the steady flow past a sphere of a uniform upstream distribution
of dust particles having a small relaxation time was studied by Michael (1968). This
paper concluded with a discussion on the effect of a viscous boundary layer in which it
was suggested that the dust-free layer can be preserved when σR1/2 ≫ 1 (where σ and R
are respectively Stokes number and Reynolds number) while on the other hand it
can be prevented from forming by the viscous boundary layer when σR1/2 ≪ 1. Singh

In the above system of equations u ¼ (u, v), T, p, Fb, ρ, cp, μ and qf are respectively the
velocity vector, temperature, pressure, body force, density, specific heat at constant
pressure, coefficient of viscosity and heat flux of the fluid. Similarly, up ¼ (up, vp), Tp, pp,
Fbp, cs and qs corresponds to the velocity vector, temperature, pressure, body force,
specific heat and heat flux for the particle phase.
In Equations (2) and (5), parameter Fp represents the total fluid-particle interaction
force per unit volume. If the Reynolds number based on the relative velocity of a
particle is less than unity, then the force accelerating the particle to the fluid speed
is given by Stokes law which is 6πrpμ (up−u), where rp is the radius of the particle.
If N is assumed to be the number density of particles, the total interaction force per unit
volume is given by (see Saffman, 1962; Marble, 1962/1963):
Fp ¼ 6pN mr p up u ¼ rp up u =tm (7)
where ρp is the density of the particles. τm ¼ m/6πμrp is called relaxation time during
which the velocity of the particle phase relative to the fluid is reduced to 1/e times
its initial value provided m is the mass of each particle. Similarly, the total
thermal interaction between the fluid and particle phase per unit volume is given
by (see Saffman, 1962; Marble, 1963):
Qp ¼ rp cs T p T =tT (8)
and τT ¼ mcs/4πrp is the thermal relaxation time of particle phase, i.e. time τT,
the temperature of the particle phase relative to the fluid is 1/e times the initial value.
The rate of work done by the particles due to the force of interaction with the fluid is
(see Saffman, 1962; Marble, 1963):
d p ¼ up u :Fp (9)
In the present study, following assumptions have been made for dilute suspensions:
(1) The solid particles are rigid spheres of uniform size. The number density N of
particles is constant. However, the particles are also sufficiently diluted to
consider them as non-interacting.
(2) The volume fraction of solid particles has been neglected. This implies that the Convection
coefficient of viscosity for the gas-particle mixture can be taken as the viscosity flow of a
of the gas phase alone.
dusty fluid
(3) It is further considered that radiative heat transfer between any two particles,
chemical reaction, coagulation and phase change in the two-phase system are
not present. The only source which couple the particles to the gas are processes
of drag and heat transfer. 1547
(4) Steady-state two-phase flow is considered.
(5) All the external forces are neglected except gravitational force.
In the light of the above assumptions, the usual boundary layer equations mentioned in
Equations (1)-(8) for the two-phase model can be written in the component form as:

The fundamental equations stated above are to be solved under appropriate boundary

The interaction terms between the gas and the particles are expressed as follows:
γ ( ¼ cs/cp) is the specific heat ratio of mixture. For different gas-particle
combinations, γ may vary between 0.1 and 10.0, and in such cases, either the
temperature or the velocity tends to reach equilibrium faster (see Rudinger, 1980).
Dρ ( ¼ ρp/ρ) is mass concentration of particle phase or the ratio of densities of the fluid Convection
and the dust particles. Pr ( ¼ κ/ρcpν) is the gas Prandtl number. τT ¼ 1.5γτmPr is the flow of a
relation between thermal relaxation time (τT) and velocity relaxation time (τm);
indicating that τT is obeying the Stokes law. It should be noted that, for most gases, the
dusty fluid
Prandtl number, Pr is near 2/3 and the specific heat mixture parameter is typically near
one. At this stage temperature and velocity relaxation become almost same. Finally,
αd ¼ L2/ντmGr1/2 is the parameter depending on the relaxation time of the particles and 1549
the buoyancy force. It can be observed that for αd ¼ 0 the flow governs by the natural
convection in the absence of the dusty particles.

3. Numerical method
The system of Equations (28)-(34) is integrated numerically by employing the
1550 straightforward finite difference method which uses the Thomas algorithm as a
solver. For this problem domain is discretized over the entire boundary layer region.
Central-difference quotients are used for diffusion terms while backward difference
quotients are employed for the convection terms. The resulting system of algebraic
equations can be cast into a tridiagonal matrix equation of the form:
where Ω represent one of the unknown quantity; U, Up, Θ, Θp and the coefficients
Ai, j,
Bi, j, Ci, j, Di,j are entered in
Table I: where P 1 ¼ ð1 þ n=2Þþ 1n=2 x=Dx and
P 2 ¼ n þ ð1n=2Þ x=Dx . Thomas algorithm works on the following pattern:
(1) Set the suitable initial and boundary conditions.
(2) Solve the unknowns U, Up, Θ, Θp at Y ¼ 0. It means that these unknowns satisfy
the convergence criteria.
(3) Solve for the next step Yj ¼ Yj−1 + ΔY by using the solution of the last position.
(4) The computations are iterated until the unknown quantities meet the
convergence
criteria
at the streamwise
position.
The convergence

is:
maxU i;j þ maxU pi;j þ maxV i;j þ maxV pi;j þ maxYi;j þ maxYpi;j p 105 .
(5) Repeat steps 2-4 for ξ maximum. In the computation, continuity equation is
used to obtain normal velocity component V and Vp by using the following
discretization:

V i;j ¼ V i1;j þ Y U i;j U i1;j DY U i;j

Y→∞. The truncation error is of first order, i.e., truncation error is proportional to
the step size. Implicit finite difference scheme is unconditionally stable and compatible
and hence ensures convergence.
Knowledge of the drag (which develops due to the fluid flowing along a solid surface)
is important and critical in assessing the performance of the devices. For instance,
information regarding wall property variation provides feedback to the design engineers
leading to improvement in the design of the device itself for increased performance and
efficiency. Thus skin friction is an important and must-have parameter that needs to be
quantified. At this stage, it is possible to obtain above mentioned physical quantities.
These relationships can be calculated from the mathematical expressions given in the

carrier phase velocity gradient is noticed near the plate due to particles. More
interestingly, the behavior of oil mixture on Figure 3(b) is noticeable since heat
transfer rate becomes negative. It happens because hot stream due to buoyancy rises
and most probably the temperature of the carrier fluid becomes higher than the
temperature at the interface and in turn gives negative heat transfer rate.
Further, in Figure 4 graphs of velocity (Figure 4(a)) and temperature (Figure 4(b))
profiles of carrier phase as well as particle phase are given. In the two-phase flow the

HFF fluid velocity is actually the source for the metal particles velocity. Compared to
25,7 clear fluid (pure air) the velocity and temperature of both the phases reduces
significantly when particles are loaded. Also, velocity and temperature distributions
reach their free-stream value more quickly and the boundary-layer thickness is
reduced. The relaxation time for energy transfer and the relative velocity between
the phases are the key factors over which temperature lag of the particulate phase
1554 depends. When these factors are considerably large, the particle cloud move quickly
toward the heated plate through the carrier fluid, maintaining the lower temperature
of the mixture layers far from the plate. When particles are loaded extensively, the
relative velocity between the two phases reduces and relaxation time for energy
transfer also decreases and ultimately temperature lags between the mixture
components become smaller. The thermal boundary layer becomes thinner due to
the large temperature lags between the phases.
Lastly, gas and particle phase velocity and temperature profiles with and without

metal particles are schematically presented in Figure 5. In this figure red curves show
velocity and temperature profiles for particle phase whereas black curves represent
carrier phase. Here again it is noticed that velocity and temperature profile decreases
and quickly attain their asymptotic behavior when both phases are present (Dρ ≠ 0).
The profiles in Figure 5(b) for the two-phase and single phase curves are very close to
each other indicating that presence of metal particles do not have much influence on
temperature. However, significant difference is found in case of velocity distributions
which can be the result of following two factors: reduction in the buoyancy force; and
reduction in the drag from the particles.
5. Conclusion
In the present investigation, two-phase dusty boundary layer flow for two-dimensional
case is analyzed over a heated semi-infinite vertical plate. Primitive variable formulations
are adopted to transform the dimensionless boundary layer equations into convenient
form over which finite difference method is applied. The numerical technique gives
detailed description of the two-phase flow behavior over the heated plate. Results are
interpreted by considering base fluid/continuous fluid as water, air and oil, while particle
cloud contains metal as a particle phase. The results are discussed in terms of significant
flow characteristics by altering various flow parameters. It is concluded that the thin
boundary layer structures can be developed when high density ratios (heavily loaded
particles in the base fluid) or high Prandtl number (e.g. oil-metal particle mixture) is
established between the phases.
