Particle-laden jet flows can be observed in many industrial applications. In this investigation, the horizontal motion of particle laden jets is simulated using the Eulerian–Lagrangian framework. The two-way coupling is applied to the model to simulate the interaction between discrete and continuum phase. In order to track the continuum phase, a passive scalar equation is added to the solver. Eddy Life Time (ELT) is employed as a dispersion model. The influences of different non-dimensional parameters, such as Stokes number, Jet Reynolds number and mass loading ratio on the flow characteristics, are studied. The results of the simulations are verified with the available experimental data. It is revealed that more gravitational force is exerted on the jet as a result of the increase in mass loading, which deflects it more. Moreover, with an increase in the Reynolds number, the speed of the jet rises, and consequently, the gravitational force becomes less capable of deviating the jet. In addition, it is observed that by increasing the Stokes number, the particles leave the jet at higher speed, which causes a lower deviation of the jet.

Abstract. The effect of relative humidity (RH) on the chemical composition of secondary organic aerosol (SOA) formed from low-NOx toluene oxidation in the absence of seed particles was investigated. SOA samples were prepared in an aerosol smog chamber at < 2 % RH and 75 % RH, collected on Teflon filters, and analyzed with nanospray desorption electrospray ionization high-resolution mass spectrometry (nano-DESI–HRMS). Measurements revealed a significant reduction in the fraction of oligomers present in the SOA generated at 75 % RH compared to SOA generated under dry conditions. In a separate set of experiments, the particle mass concentrations were measured with a scanning mobility particle sizer (SMPS) at RHs ranging from < 2 to 90 %. It was found that the particle mass loading decreased by nearly an order of magnitude when RH increased from < 2 to 75–90 % for low-NOx toluene SOA. The volatility distributions of the SOA compounds, estimated from the distribution of molecular formulas using the “molecular corridor” approach, confirmed that low-NOx toluene SOA became more volatile on average under high-RH conditions. In contrast, the effect of RH on SOA mass loading was found to be much smaller for high-NOx toluene SOA. The observed increase in the oligomer fraction and particle mass loading under dry conditions were attributed to the enhancement of condensation reactions, which produce water and oligomers from smaller compounds in low-NOx toluene SOA. The reduction in the fraction of oligomeric compounds under humid conditions is predicted to partly counteract the previously observed enhancement in the toluene SOA yield driven by the aerosol liquid water chemistry in deliquesced inorganic seed particles.
