Standard Eulerian-Lagrangian (EL) methods often overlook higher-order drag force statistics caused by neighbor-induced flow perturbations, leading to inaccurate predictions for particle velocity variance and dispersion. In this study, a force Langevin model is developed to address this issue by treating neighbor-induced drag fluctuations as a stochastic force within the EL framework. The stochastic EL approach shows improved accuracy in predicting particle velocity variance and dispersion compared to the standard EL approach.
Standard Eulerian-Lagrangian (EL) methods generally employ drag force models that only represent the mean hydrodynamic force acting upon a particle-laden suspension. Consequently, higher-order drag force statistics, arising from neighbor-induced flow perturbations, are not accounted for; this has implications on the predictions for particle velocity variance and dispersion. We develop a force Langevin model that treats neighborinduced drag fluctuations as a stochastic force within an EL framework. The stochastic drag force follows an Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process and requires closure of the integral timescale for the fluctuating hydrodynamic force and the standard deviation in drag. The former is closed using the mean-free time between successive collisions, derived from the kinetic theory of nonuniform gases. For the latter, particle-resolved direct numerical simulation (PR-DNS) of fixed particle assemblies is utilized to develop a correlation. The stochastic EL framework specifies unresolved drag force statistics, leading to the correct evolution and sustainment of particle velocity variance over a wide range of Reynolds numbers and solids volume fractions, when compared to PR-DNS of freely evolving homogeneous suspensions. By contrast, standard EL infers drag statistics from variations in the resolved flow and thus underpredicts the growth and steady particle velocity variance in homogeneous suspensions. Velocity statistics from standard EL approaches are found to depend on the bandwidth of the projection function used for two-way momentum coupling, while results obtained from the stochastic EL approach are insensitive to the projection bandwidth.
