| Popis: | We present a simple stochastic quadrant model for calculating the transport and de- position of heavy particles in a fully developed turbulent boundary layer based on the statistics of wall-normal fluid velocity fluctuations obtained from a fully developed channel flow. Individual particles are tracked through the boundary layer via their interactions with a succession of random eddies found in each of the quadrants of the fluid Reynolds shear stress domain in a homogeneous Markov chain process. In this way we are able to account directly for the influence of ejection and sweeping events as others have done but without resorting to the use of adjustable parameters. Deposition rate predictions for a wide range of heavy particles predicted by the model compare well with benchmark experimental measurements. In addition deposition rates are compared with those obtained from continuous random walk (CRW) models and Langevin equation based ejection and sweep models which noticeably give sig- nificantly lower deposition rates. Various statistics related to the particle near wall behavior are also presented. Finally we consider the model limitations in using the model to calculate deposition in more complex flows where the near wall turbulence may be significantly different.
