Modulation of turbulence intensity by heavy finite-size particles in upward channel flow

Z Yu, Y **a, Y Guo, J Lin - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2021 - cambridge.org
It has been recognized that, generally, large particles enhance the turbulence intensity,
while small particles attenuate the turbulence intensity. However, there has been no …

Particle–fluid–wall interaction of inertial spherical particles in a turbulent boundary layer

LJ Baker, F Coletti - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2021 - cambridge.org
