Rotational intermittency and turbulence induced lift experienced by large particles in a turbulent flow
Robert Zimmermann, Yoann Gasteuil, Mickael Bourgoin +3
The motion of a large, neutrally buoyant, particle, freely advected by a turbulent flow is determined experimentally. We demonstrate that both the translational and angular acceler…

Tracking the dynamics of translation and absolute orientation of a sphere in a turbulent flow
Robert Zimmermann, Yoann Gasteuil, Mickael Bourgoin +3
We study the 6-dimensional dynamics -- position and orientation -- of a large sphere advected by a turbulent flow. The movement of the sphere is recorded with 2 high-speed cameras.…
