The approximate deconvolution is implemented to reconstruct the instantaneous velocities from the filtered velocities before using them in the momentum equations of particles in the large-eddy simulation (LES) of particle-laden turbulent flows. It is shown that the various statistics of particles obtained through deconvolution are in good agreement with those obtained by the direct numerical simulation (DNS) by conducting a priori and a posteriori tests in a particle-laden homogeneous shear turbulent flow. On the other hand, the neglect of the effects of subgrid scales on the particles results in discrepancies between DNS and LES results.
