Comparison between theoretical predictions and direct numerical simulation results for a decaying turbulent suspension.
A recently developed theoretical model for a turbulently flowing suspension has been applied to a homogeneous, isotropic, and decaying turbulent suspension. The predictions are compared with results from direct numerical simulations. The agreement is reasonable. Special attention is paid to a physical explanation of the influence of the particles on the turbulence of the carrier fluid.
