An unstructured integrated simulation framework DUST-US3D has been used to study particle-laden flows in the German Aerospace Center (DLR) GBK facility. Air/particle inflow conditions and the overall simulation methodology has been adjusted to ensure consonance with recent experimental work. The resulting particle dynamics are found to be extremely sensitive to the configuration of the particle injection process. However, owing to relatively low particle mass flow rates incorporating 2-way coupling (particles-gas exchange momentum/energy) or particle-particle collisions has no significant impact on predictions. Numerical estimates for particle velocity magnitude are consistently lower than those observed during experiments which could be indicative of particles coalescing into larger, possibly non-spherical aggregates.
