Anisotropic particles in turbulence

GA Voth, A Soldati - Annual Review of Fluid Mechanics, 2017 - annualreviews.org
Anisotropic particles are common in many industrial and natural turbulent flows. When these
particles are small and neutrally buoyant, they follow Lagrangian trajectories while …

Bubbly and buoyant particle–laden turbulent flows

V Mathai, D Lohse, C Sun - Annual Review of Condensed Matter …, 2020 - annualreviews.org
Fluid turbulence is commonly associated with stronger drag, greater heat transfer, and more
efficient mixing than in laminar flows. In many natural and industrial settings, turbulent liquid …

Analyzing preferential concentration and clustering of inertial particles in turbulence

R Monchaux, M Bourgoin, A Cartellier - International Journal of Multiphase …, 2012 - Elsevier
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 …

Pseudo-turbulent gas-phase velocity fluctuations in homogeneous gas–solid flow: fixed particle assemblies and freely evolving suspensions

M Mehrabadi, S Tenneti, R Garg… - Journal of Fluid …, 2015 - cambridge.org
Gas-phase velocity fluctuations due to mean slip velocity between the gas and solid phases
are quantified using particle-resolved direct numerical simulation. These fluctuations are …

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 …

A direct comparison of particle-resolved and point-particle methods in decaying turbulence

M Mehrabadi, JAK Horwitz, S Subramaniam… - Journal of Fluid …, 2018 - cambridge.org
We use particle-resolved direct numerical simulation (PR-DNS) as a model-free physics-
based numerical approach to validate particle acceleration modelling in gas-solid …

Finite-size effects in the dynamics of neutrally buoyant particles in turbulent flow

H Homann, J Bec - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2010 - cambridge.org
The dynamics of neutrally buoyant particles transported by a turbulent flow is investigated for
spherical particles with radii of the order of the Kolmogorov dissipative scale or larger. The …

The effect of the Basset history force on particle clustering in homogeneous and isotropic turbulence

S Olivieri, F Picano, G Sardina, D Iudicone, L Brandt - Physics of fluids, 2014 - pubs.aip.org
We study the effect of the Basset history force on the dynamics of small particles transported
in homogeneous and isotropic turbulence and show that this term, often neglected in …
