Statistical model for collisions and recollisions of inertial particles in mixing flows
K. Gustavsson, B. Mehlig
Finding a quantitative description of the rate of collisions between small particles suspended in mixing flows is a long-standing problem. Here we investigate the validity of a par…
Orientational dynamics of weakly inertial axisymmetric particles in steady viscous flows
J. Einarsson, J. R. Angilella, B. Mehlig
The orientational dynamics of weakly inertial axisymmetric particles in a steady flow is investigated. We derive an asymptotic equation of motion for the unit axial vector along th…
Relative velocities of inertial particles in turbulent aerosols
K. Gustavsson, B. Mehlig
We compute the joint distribution of relative velocities and separations of identical inertial particles suspended in randomly mixing and turbulent flows. Our results are obtained…
Lyapunov exponents for particles advected in compressible random velocity fields at small and large Kubo numbers
K. Gustavsson, B. Mehlig
We calculate the Lyapunov exponents describing spatial clustering of particles advected in one- and two-dimensional random velocity fields at finite Kubo numbers Ku (a dimensionles…
Tumbling of small axisymmetric particles in random and turbulent flows
K. Gustavsson, J. Einarsson, B. Mehlig
We analyse the tumbling of small non-spherical, axisymmetric particles in random and turbulent flows. We compute the orientational dynamics in terms of a perturbation expansion in…
