Numerical simulations using an Eulerian two-fluid model were performed for spatially developing, two-dimensional, axisymmetric jets issued from a 30-mm-diameter circular nozzle. The nozzle was simulated separately for various flow conditions to get fully developed velocity profiles at its exit. The effect of interparticle collisions in the nozzle gives rise to solids pressure and viscosity, which are modeled using kinetic theory of granular flows (KTGF). The particle sizes are in the range of 30 to 2 mm, and the particle loading is varied from 1 to 5. The fully developed velocity profiles are expressed by power law, . The exponent, N, is found to be 0.14 for gas phase, irrespective of particle sizes and particulate loadings. However, the solid-phase velocity varies significantly with the particle diameter. For particle sizes up to 200 , the exponent is 0.12. The center line velocity () of the solid phase decreases and, hence, the slip velocity increases as the particle size increases. For 1 mm and 2 mm size particles, the exponent is found to be 0.08 and 0.05, respectively. The developed velocity profiles of both the phases are used as the inlet velocities for the jet simulation. The modulations on the flow structures and turbulent characteristics of gas flow due to the solid particles with different particle sizes and loadings are investigated. The jet spreading and the decay of the centerline mean velocity are computed for all particle sizes and loadings considered under the present study. Additions of solid particles to the gas flow significantly modulate the gas turbulence in the nozzle as well as the jet flows. Fine particles suppress the turbulence, whereas coarse particles enhance it.
