This work employs the SSF (stochastic separated flow) model coupling with the Lagrangian equation of turbulent kinetic energy of the dispersed phase in the calculation of a planar, turbulent mixing layer loaded with a polydispersed water spray. It is found that the use of steady-state expression of drag coefficient introduced some errors in prediction of turbulent kinetic energy of the dispersed phase. To overcome the aformentioned defect, the unsteady-state expression of drag coefficient proposed by Sano (1981) is used in the work. It shows that the prediction of the dispersed-phase turbulent kinetic energy is indeed improved as compared to the experimental data.
