Time persistency of floating particle clusters in free-surface turbulence
Salvatore Lovecchio, Cristian Marchioli, Alfredo Soldati
We study the dispersion of light particles floating on a flat shear-free surface of an open channel in which the flow is turbulent. This configuration mimics the motion of buoyant…

Intrinsic filtering errors of Lagrangian particle tracking in LES flow fields
F. Bianco, S. Chibbaro, C. Marchioli +2
Large-Eddy Simulations (LES) of two-phase turbulent flows exhibit quantitative differences in particle statistics if compared to Direct Numerical Simulations (DNS) which, in the co…

Direct Numerical Simulation of Turbulent Heat Transfer Modulation in Micro-Dispersed Channel Flow
Francesco Zonta, Cristian Marchioli, Alfredo Soldati
The object of this paper is to study the influence of dispersed micrometer size particles on turbulent heat transfer mechanisms in wall-bounded flows. The strategic target of the c…
