Lagrangian flow statistics in experimental homogeneous isotropic turbulence
Cheng Wang, Sander G. Huisman, Thomas Basset +2
We report on Lagrangian flow statistics from experimental measurements of homogeneous isotropic turbulence. The investigated flow is driven by 12 impellers inside an icosahedral vo…
Experimental study of velocity statistics in wall-bounded turbulent emulsions
Yaning Fan, Yi-Bao Zhang, Jinghong Su +3
Turbulent emulsions are ubiquitous in chemical engineering, food processing, pharmaceuticals, and other fields. However, our experimental understanding of this area remains limited…
How interfacial tension enhances drag in turbulent Taylor-Couette flow with neutrally buoyant and equally viscous droplets
Jinghong Su, Yi-bao Zhang, Cheng Wang +5
The presence of dispersed-phase droplets can result in a notable increase in the system's drag. However, our understanding of the mechanism underlying this phenomenon remains limit…
Turbulence modulation in liquid-liquid two-phase Taylor-Couette turbulence
Jinghong Su, Cheng Wang, Yi-bao Zhang +3
We investigate the coupling effects of the two-phase interface, viscosity ratio, and density ratio of the dispersed phase to the continuous phase on the flow statistics in two-phas…
