Over the past 100 years particle collision models for a range of particle inertias and carrier
fluid flow conditions have been developed. Models for perikinetic and orthokinetic collisions …

We present an experimental characterization of preferential concentration and clustering of
inertial particles in a turbulent flow obtained from Voronoï diagram analysis. Several results …

A comprehensive understanding on the dynamics of droplet clustering in sprays is important
for a wide range of applications ranging from combustion engines to spray drying. Due to …

Temperature and suspended particle distribution were surveyed and modeled in two high‐
Alpine reservoirs in Switzerland, connected by pumped‐storage operations for∼ 30 years …

Turbulent polydispersed multiphase flows are encountered in many engineering and
environmental applications and particularly in combustion applications, spray polydispersity …

Particles with a certain range of Stokes numbers preferentially concentrate due to action of
turbulent motion and body forces such as gravity are known to influence this process. The …

Using one-way coupled direct numerical simulations of inertial particles in homogeneous
isotropic turbulence we investigate the non-linear dependence of local particle …

Particle clusters are preferential accumulations of a solid, secondary phase that can be
caused by turbulence. It is well known that particle clusters can influence the performance of …

Charge injection atomizers are energy efficient devices that can be used in order to promote
the atomization of dielectric liquids, and a potential application of such devices is fine spray …

A charge injection atomizer functions by introducing electric charge discharged from a high
voltage electrode into a dielectric liquid, which subsequently atomizes the ejected liquid jet …
