This review is motivated by the fast progress in our understanding of the physics of particle-
laden turbulence in the last decade, partly due to the tremendous advances of measurement …

Multiphase chemical reactors with characteristic multiscale structures are intrinsically
discrete at the elemental scale. However, due to the lack of multiscale models and the …

Microplastics are abundant in aquatic environments and are an emerging environmental
concern. The prediction of their settling velocities is central to predictions of the residence …

We study experimentally the spatial distribution, settling and interaction of sub-Kolmogorov
inertial particles with homogeneous turbulence. Utilizing a zero-mean-flow air turbulence …

The gravity-driven motion of rigid particles in a viscous fluid is relevant in many natural and
industrial processes, yet this has mainly been investigated for spherical particles. We …

Turbulence can have a strong effect on the fall speed of snowflakes and ice crystals. In this
experimental study, the behaviour of thin disks falling in homogeneous turbulence is …

We study the effect of varying the mass and volume fraction of a suspension of rigid spheres
dispersed in a turbulent channel flow. We performed several direct numerical simulations …

We study numerically the inertial migration of a single rigid sphere and an oblate spheroid in
straight square and rectangular ducts. A highly accurate interface-resolved numerical …

We have performed particle-resolved direct numerical simulations of many heavy non-
spherical particles settling under gravity in the dilute regime. The particles are oblate …

This paper presents a review of recent progress made towards the applications of the
meshfree particle methods (MPMs) for solving coupled fluid-structure interaction (FSI) …
