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 …

We study experimentally the behaviour of negatively buoyant disks and fibres in a turbulent
boundary layer. The regime is relevant to the transport of natural sediment or plastic …

Plastic pollution is overflowing in rivers. A limited understanding of the physics of plastic
transport in rivers hinders monitoring, the prediction of plastic fate and restricts the …

We investigate the behaviour of microscopic heavy particles settling in homogeneous air
turbulence. The regimes are relevant to the airborne transport of dust and droplets: the …

Experiments on particle-free and particle-laden flows with the same incoming velocity were
conducted in a horizontal wind tunnel. Three cases of particle-laden flows with different …

In particle-laden turbulent wall flows, lift forces can influence the near-wall turbulence. This
has been observed recently in particle-resolved simulations, which, however, are too …

A combination of time-resolved tomographic particle image velocimetry, refractive index
matching technique and machine vision algorithms was used to measure the translational …

Despite decades of investigations, there is still no consensus on whether inertial particles
augment or dampen turbulence. Here, we perform the first experimental study in which the …

We use theory and direct numerical simulations (DNSs) coupled with point particles to
explore the average vertical velocities and spatial distributions of inertial particles settling in …

High fidelity near-wall velocity measurements in wall bounded fluid flows continue to pose a
challenge and the resulting limitations on available experimental data cloud our …
