Dynamics of a charged gas suspension with an initial spatially nonuniform distribution of the average dispersed phase density during the transition to the equilibrium state

Abstract

Results of calculations are presented for the transition of a charged gas suspension from the initial nonequilibrium state with a spatially nonuniform distribution of the average density to a state with a uniform distribution of the average density and charge in a bounded volume. A numerical solution is obtained for the system of equations describing the motion of a polydisperse multirate and multitemperature gas suspension, the particles of which carry an electric discharge and create a self-consistent electric field.
