Intermittency in the relative separations of tracers and of heavy particles in turbulent flows

L. Biferale, A. S. Lanotte, R. Scatamacchia +1

Results from Direct Numerical Simulations of particle relative dispersion in three dimensional homogeneous and isotropic turbulence at Reynolds number are presented.…

Initial surface deformations during impact on a liquid pool

Wilco Bouwhuis, Maurice H. W. Hendrix, Devaraj van der Meer +1

A tiny air bubble can be entrapped at the bottom of a solid sphere that impacts onto a liquid pool. The bubble forms due to the deformation of the liquid surface by a local pressur…

Clustering of vertically constrained passive particles in homogeneous, isotropic turbulence

Massimo De Pietro, Michel A. T. van Hinsberg, Luca Biferale +3

We analyze the dynamics of small particles vertically confined, by means of a linear restoring force, to move within a horizontal fluid slab in a three-dimensional (3D) homogeneous…

Geostrophic convective turbulence: The effect of boundary layers

Rudie P. J. Kunnen, Rodolfo Ostilla-Mónico, Erwin P. van der Poel +2

Rayleigh--Bénard (RB) convection, the flow in a fluid layer heated from below and cooled from above, is used to analyze the transition to the geostrophic regime of thermal convecti…

Droplets move over viscoelastic substrates by surfing a ridge

S. Karpitschka, S. Das, M. van Gorcum +3

Liquid drops on soft solids generate strong deformations below the contact line, resulting from a balance of capillary and elastic forces. The movement of these drops may cause str…

Numerical simulations of aggregate breakup in bounded and unbounded turbulent flows

Matthaus U. Babler, Luca Biferale, Luca Brandt +8

Breakup of small aggregates in fully developed turbulence is studied by means of direct numerical simulations in a series of typical bounded and unbounded flow configurations, such…

Universality of Tip Singularity Formation in Freezing Water Drops

Alvaro G. Marin, Oscar R. Enriquez, Philipe Brunet +2

A drop of water deposited on a cold plate freezes into an ice drop with a pointy tip. While this phenomenon clearly finds its origin in the expansion of water upon freezing, a quan…

Multiphase lattice Boltzmann simulations for porous media applications -- a review

Haihu Liu, Qinjun Kang, Christopher R. Leonardi +6

Over the last two decades, lattice Boltzmann methods have become an increasingly popular tool to compute the flow in complex geometries such as porous media. In addition to single…

An accurate and efficient Lagrangian sub-grid model

I. M. Mazzitelli, F. Toschi, A. S. Lanotte

A computationally efficient model is introduced to account for the sub-grid scale velocities of tracer particles dispersed in statistically homogeneous and isotropic turbulent flow…

Lattice-Boltzmann simulations of the drag force on a sphere approaching a superhydrophobic striped plane

Alexander L. Dubov, Sebastian Schmieschek, Evgeny S. Asmolov +2

By means of lattice-Boltzmann simulations the drag force on a sphere of radius R approaching a superhydrophobic striped wall has been investigated as a function of arbitrary separa…
