Settling strongly modifies particle concentrations in wall-bounded turbulent flows even when the settling parameter is asymptotically small

AD Bragg, DH Richter, G Wang - Physical Review Fluids, 2021 - APS
We explore the role of gravitational settling on inertial particle concentrations in a wall-
bounded turbulent flow. While it may be thought that settling can be ignored when the …
