Quantifying turbulence induced segregation of inertial particles

Abstract

Particles with density different from that of the advecting turbulent fluid cluster due to the different response of light/heavy particles to turbulent fluctuations. This study focuses on the quantitative characterization of the segregation of dilute poly-disperse inertial particles evolving in turbulent flow, as obtained from Direct Numerical Simulation of the Navier-Stokes equations. We introduce an indicator of segregation amongst particles of different inertia and/or size, from which a length scale r_{seg} quantifying the degree of segregation of two different types of particles is deduced.
