Accumulation and alignment of elongated gyrotactic swimmers in turbulence
Zehua Liu, Linfeng Jiang, Chao Sun
We study the dynamics of gyrotactic swimmers in turbulence, whose orientation is governed by gravitational torque and local fluid velocity gradient. The gyrotaxis strength is measu…
Dynamics of finite-size spheroids in turbulent flow: the roles of flow structures and particle boundary layers
Linfeng Jiang, Cheng Wang, Shuang Liu +2
We study the translational and rotational dynamics of neutrally-buoyant finite-size spheroids in hydrodynamic turbulence by means of fully resolved numerical simulations. We examin…
Rotational dynamics of bottom-heavy rods in turbulence from experiments and numerical simulations
Linfeng Jiang, Cheng Wang, Shuang Liu +2
We successfully perform the three-dimensional tracking in a turbulent fluid flow of small asymmetrical particles that are neutrally-buoyant and bottom-heavy, i.e., they have a non-…
Ice front shaping by upward convective current
Ziqi Wang, Linfeng Jiang, Yihong Du +2
The extent and the morphology of ice forming in a differentially heated cavity filled with water is studied by means of experiments and numerical simulations. We show that the main…
From Rayleigh-Bénard convection to porous-media convection: how porosity affects heat transfer and flow structure
Shuang Liu, Linfeng Jiang, Kai Leong Chong +6
We perform a numerical study of the heat transfer and flow structure of Rayleigh-Bénard (RB) convection in (in most cases regular) porous media, which are comprised of circular, so…
Rotation of anisotropic particles in Rayleigh-Bénard turbulence
Linfeng Jiang, Enrico Calzavarini, Chao Sun
Inertialess anisotropic particles in a Rayleigh-Bénard turbulent flow show maximal tumbling rates for weakly oblate shapes, in contrast with the universal behaviour observed in dev…
