Sedimenting Elastic Filaments in Turbulent Flows
Rahul K. Singh, Jason R. Picardo, Samriddhi Sankar Ray
We investigate the gravitational settling of a long, model elastic filament in homogeneous isotropic turbulence. We show that the flow produces a strongly fluctuating settling velo…

Dynamics of a long chain in turbulent flows: Impact of vortices
Jason R. Picardo, Rahul Singh, Samriddhi Sankar Ray +1
We show and explain how a long bead-spring chain, immersed in a homogeneous, isotropic turbulent flow, preferentially samples vortical flow structures. We begin with an elastic, ex…

Elasto-inertial Chains in a Two-dimensional Turbulent Flow
Rahul Singh, Mohit Gupta, Jason R. Picardo +2
The interplay of inertia and elasticity is shown to have a significant impact on the transport of filamentary objects, modelled by bead-spring chains, in a two-dimensional turbulen…
