The Discrete Vortex Method (DVM) was employed to evaluate the unsteady gas flow fields and a Lagrangian approach was applied for tracking individual solid particles. The vortex patterns and the distributions of particles with different Stokes numbers were obtained. Numerical results show that: (1) at small Stokes number (St=0.01) the particles move with the fluid and could be found evenly throughout the flow, (2) the regions around the vortex cores, where few particles exist, become wider as the stokes number of particles increases from 0.01 to 1.0, (3) at middle Stokes number (St=1.0, 10) centrifugal forces throw the particles out of the wake vortices, (4) at high Stokes number (St=100, 1000) the particles are not affected by the vortices,and their motion is determined by their inertia effects.展开更多
