Direct numerical simulation is conducted to study particle concentration in particle-laden homogeneous shear turbulence. The equilibrium assumption in which the velocity of particles is approximated in terms of the velocity and acceleration of the fluid phase is assessed for this flow by analyzing the radial distribution function (RDF), the probability density function (PDF) of the number density of particles, the autocorrelation of particle Lagrangian velocity, and the particle turbulent diffusivity for various particle time constants. A good agreement between exact and equilibrium Lagrangian particles is observed for these statistics when nondimensional particle time constant τp*<0.6. In this work, we also introduce a new methodology for measuring the anisotropy of the Lagrangian particle concentration through calculating two-dimensional RDFs. It is shown that particles are the most and least accumulated in the streamwise and cross-stream directions, respectively. Also, a methodology is introduced to ex...
