Abstract
We present a refinement of a model due to Mondal and
Mazumder~(2008) for dispersion of fine particles in an
oscillatory turbulent flow. The model is based on the time-dependent
advection-diffusion equation posed on a semi-infinite strip,
whose solution represents the
concentration of particles over time and down-stream distances.
The problem is solved by first mapping to a finite domain and then,
using a monotone finite difference method on a tensor product,
piecewise uniform mesh.
The numerical results obtained for the related steady-state problem
are compared with experimental data.
