Velocity profile of fluid particle suspension over a horizontal plate with electrification of particles

Abstract

The modelling of electrified flow over a horizontal plate is considered. Here the fluid is of Newtonian type and fluid-fluid, fluid-particles collisions are accounted. The effective volumetric force, viscous dissipation, browanion diffusion, in fluid phase as well as particle phase has been considered. In this paper we considered the generation of electricity due to hitting of particles with each other and with the wall of the flow and its impact on motion of flow particles. The systems of equations representing the flow are solved by finite difference method. It concludes from outcome of computation that the particle velocity rises with rise of electricity generation and increasing size of particles.
