Comparing phase-space and phenomenological modeling approaches for Lagrangian particles settling in a turbulent boundary layer

Andrew P. Grace, David H. Richter, Andrew D. Bragg

Under the right circumstances, inertial particles (such as sand or dust) settling through the atmospheric boundary layer can experience a net enhancement in their average settling…

A stochastic model for the residence time of solid particles in turbulent Rayleigh-Bénard Flow

Colin J. Denzel, Andrew D. Bragg, David H. Richter

The Pi Chamber, located at Michigan Technological University, generates moist turbulent Rayleigh-Bénard flow in order to replicate steady-state cloud conditions. We take inspiratio…

When is settling important for particle concentrations in wall-bounded turbulent flows?

Andrew D. Bragg, David H. Richter, Guiquan Wang

We explore the role of gravitational settling on inertial particle concentrations in a wall-bounded turbulent flow. While it may be thought that settling can be ignored when the se…

Mechanisms governing the settling velocities and spatial distributions of inertial particles in wall-bounded turbulence

Andrew D Bragg, David H Richter, Guiquan Wang

We use theory and Direct Numerical Simulations (DNS) to explore the average vertical velocities and spatial distributions of inertial particles settling in a wall-bounded turbulent…

Transport and two-way coupling effect of inertial particles by large-scale and very-large-scale motions in turbulence

Guiquan Wang, David Richter

Direct numerical simulations two-way coupled with inertial particles are used to investigate the particle distribution and two-way coupling effect of low-inertia (…

Two mechanisms of VLSM modulation by inertial particles in open channel flow

Guiquan Wang, David Richter

Very large-scale motions (VLSMs) and large-scale motions (LSMs) coexist at moderate Reynolds numbers in a very long open channel flow. Direct numerical simulations two-way coupled…
