Dispersed fibers change the classical energy budget of turbulence via nonlocal transfer

Abstract
The back-reaction of dispersed rigid fibers to turbulence is analyzed by means of a state-of-the-art fully-coupled immersed boundary method. The following universal scenario is identified: turbulence at large scales looses a consistent part of its kinetic energy (via a Darcy friction term), which partially re-appears at small scales where a new range of energy-containing scales does emerge. Large-scale mixing is thus depleted in favor of a new mixing mechanism arising at the smallest scales. Anchored fibers cause the same back-reaction to turbulence as moving fibers of large inertia. Our results thus provide a link between two apparently separated realms: the one of porous media and the one of suspension dynamics.
