In the framework of the gas-particle two-fluid mode, an improved gas-particle two-phase kinetic energy incorporating into a particles collision model (k-k(p)-0) is proposed to study the sudden expansion gas-particle turbulent flows in a cylindrical pipe section. Anisotropy of gas-solid two-phase stress and the interaction between two-phase stresses are considered by means of a transport equation of two-phase fluctuation velocity correlation. Xu and Zhou [10] experimental data is used to quantitatively validate k-k(p)-0 and k-k(p) model for analysis the effects of particle-particle collision. Numerical predicted results show that time-averaged velocity, fluctuation velocity of gas and particle and correlation of two-phase fluctuation velocity considering particles collision are better than those of the without particle temperature model and they are in good agreement with experimental data. Larger particle concentration and particle temperature located at shear layer adjacent to wall surface and re-circulation region. Energy dissipation due to smaller scale particles collision contributes to homogeneous distribution of Reynolds stress and affects the particle transportation behavior together with particle inertia.
