Trapping and Transport of Inertial Particles in a Taylor-Green Vortex: Effects of Added Mass and History Force
Prabhash Kumar, Anu V. S. Nath, Mahesh Panchagnula +1
We investigate the dynamics of small inertial particles in a two-dimensional, steady Taylor-Green vortex flow. A classic study by Taylor (2022) showed that heavy inertial point par…

Clustering and chaotic motion of heavy inertial particles in an isolated non-axisymmetric vortex
Anu V. S. Nath, Anubhab Roy
We investigate the dynamics of heavy inertial particles in a flow field due to an isolated, non-axisymmetric vortex. For our study, we consider a canonical elliptical vortex - the…

Instability of a dusty shear flow
Anu V. S. Nath, Anubhab Roy, M. Houssem Kasbaoui
We study the instability of a dusty simple shear flow where the dust particles are distributed non-uniformly. A simple shear flow is modally stable to infinitesimal perturbations.…
