Sedimentation of elongated non-motile prolate spheroids in homogenous isotropic turbulence
M. Niazi Ardekani, G. Sardina, L. Brandt +3
Phytoplankton are the foundation of aquatic food webs. Through photosynthesis, phytoplankton draw down CO2 at magnitudes equivalent to forests and other terrestrial plants and conv…
Heat transfer in laminar Couette flow laden with rigid spherical particles
Mehdi Niazi Ardekani, Omid Abouali, Francesco Picano +1
We study heat transfer in plane Couette flow laden with rigid spherical particles by means of direct numerical simulations using a direct-forcing immersed boundary method to accoun…
Drag reduction in turbulent channel flow laden with finite-size oblate spheroids
M. Niazi Ardekani, P. Costa, W. -P. Breugem +2
We study suspensions of oblate rigid particles in a viscous fluid for different values of the particle volume fractions. Direct numerical simulations have been performed using a di…
Numerical Study of the Sedimentation of Spheroidal Particles
Mehdi Niazi Ardekani, Pedro Costa, Wim-Paul Breugem +1
The gravity-driven motion of rigid particles in a viscous fluid is relevant in many natural and industrial processes, yet this has mainly been investigated for spherical particles.…
