Analyzing preferential concentration and clustering of inertial particles in turbulence
Particle laden flows are of relevant interest in many industrial and natural systems. When the
carrier flow is turbulent, a striking feature is the tendency of particles denser than the fluid to …

Accurate calculation of Stokes drag for point–particle tracking in two-way coupled flows
JAK Horwitz, A Mani - Journal of Computational Physics, 2016 - Elsevier
In this work, we propose and test a method for calculating Stokes drag applicable to particle–
laden fluid flows where two-way momentum coupling is important. In the point–particle …

Correction scheme for point-particle models applied to a nonlinear drag law in simulations of particle-fluid interaction
JAK Horwitz, A Mani - International Journal of Multiphase Flow, 2018 - Elsevier
Drag laws for particles in fluids are often expressed in terms of the undisturbed fluid velocity,
defined as the fluid velocity a particle sees before its disturbance develops in the fluid. In two …
