Acceleration statistics of finite-sized particles in turbulent flow: the role of Faxen forces

Enrico Calzavarini, Romain Volk, Mickael Bourgoin +3

The dynamics of particles in turbulence when the particle-size is larger than the dissipative scale of the carrier flow is studied. Recent experiments have highlighted signatures o…

Reflexion and Diffraction of Internal Waves analyzed with the Hilbert Transform

Matthieu Mercier, Nicolas Garnier, Thierry Dauxois

We apply the Hilbert transform to the physics of internal waves in two-dimensional fluids. Using this demodulation technique, we can discriminate internal waves propagating in diff…

Velocity gradients statistics along particle trajectories in turbulent flows: the refined similarity hypothesis in the Lagrangian frame

Roberto Benzi, Luca Biferale, Enrico Calzavarini +2

We present an investigation of the statistics of velocity gradient related quantities, in particluar energy dissipation rate and enstrophy, along the trajectories of fluid tracers…

Fluctuation-Dissipation Relations and statistical temperatures in a turbulent von Kármán flow

Romain Monchaux, Pierre-Philippe Cortet, Pierre-Henri Chavanis +4

We experimentally characterize the fluctuations of the non-homogeneous non-isotropic turbulence in an axisymmetric von Kármán flow. We show that these fluctuations satisfy relation…

Numerical studies towards practical large-eddy simulation

Jérôme Boudet, Joëlle Caro, L. Shao +1

Large-eddy simulation developments and validations are presented for an improved simulation of turbulent internal flows. Numerical methods are proposed according to two competing c…
