This paper deals with the numerical simulation of two-phase flows based on the solution of the Navier-Stokes equations with a turbulence model for the gas phase and a particle tracking model of the disperse phase fulfilling the framework of the Eulerian-Lagrangian (PSI-cell) approach. The numerical procedures for the two phases are based on multigrid and domain decomposition methods applied to a block-structured grid. Due to the enormous numerical effort of such flow simulations the entire solving procedure has been parallelized for computers of MIMD architecture. The paper gives a short description of the applied and developed numerical methods. Furthermore the numerical simulation of a particle laden gas flow through a flow splitter from the area of power engineering is presented as an example for a real world application of the numerical approach.
