THE DRAG OF CYLINDRICAL PARTICLE IN TWO PHASE FLOW

The equivalent relation between the spherical andcylindrical particles was built, and the method of equivalent surface areawas used to calculate the drag exerted on the cylindrical particle.Then the finite-volume method was applied to obtain the dragnumerically. It is found that the drag obtained by thenumerical method differs from that obtained by the equivalent surface areamethod by a factor of 1.5~2.
