Abstract
This article presents a two-dimensional numerical study of the velocity profile of an incompressible laminar flow with particles on a flat plate. The model was developed using COMSOL MULTYPHISICS 6.0 software. Various cases are presented with varying parameters such as volumetric fraction of particles (ap), relative particle size (Rsp) and Stokes number (Stk), entry velocity of particles (Vp) and particle entrance zone (H). This study focused on observing how these parameters affect the fluid flow profile velocity. The velocity profile of particle-laden flows was compared to the Blasius velocity profile (particle-free flow). The results show three zones, the first zone near the plate is an acceleration zone (when Vp=Vf) or deceleration zone (when Vp
