Investigating the parametric dependence of the impact of two-way coupling on inertial particle settling in turbulence

Soumak Bhattacharjee, Josin Tom, Maurizio Carbone +1

Tom et al.\ (J.\ Fluid Mech.\ 947, A7, 2022) investigated the impact of two-way coupling (2WC) on particle settling in turbulence. For the limited parameter choices explored, it wa…

Asymptotic predictions on the velocity gradient statistics in low-Reynolds number random flows: Onset of skewness, intermittency and alignments

Maurizio Carbone, Michael Wilczek

Stirring a fluid through a Gaussian forcing at a vanishingly small Reynolds number produces a Gaussian random field, while flows at higher Reynolds numbers exhibit non-Gaussianity,…

Lagrangian model for passive scalar gradients in turbulence

Xiaolong Zhang, Maurizio Carbone, Andrew D. Bragg

The equation for the fluid velocity gradient along a Lagrangian trajectory immediately follows from the Navier-Stokes equation. However, such an equation involves two terms that ca…

How two-way coupling modifies the multiscale preferential sweeping mechanism

Josin Tom, Maurizio Carbone, Andrew D. Bragg

For one-way coupled (1WC) flows, Tom & Bragg (J. Fluid Mech., 871, pp. 244-270, 2019) advanced the analysis of Maxey (J. Fluid Mech., 174, pp. 441-465, 1987), which applied to weak…

Are there higher-order Betchov homogeneity constraints for incompressible isotropic turbulence?

Maurizio Carbone, Michael Wilczek

Incompressible and statistically homogeneous flows obey exact kinematic relations. The Betchov homogeneity constraints (Betchov, J. Fluid Mech., vol. 1, 1956, pp. 497-504) for the…

Exploring the turbulent velocity gradients at different scales from the perspective of the strain-rate eigenframe

Josin Tom, Maurizio Carbone, Andrew D Bragg

Expressing the evolution equations for the filtered velocity gradient tensor (FVGT) in the strain-rate eigenframe provides an insightful way to disentangle and understand various p…

Gauge symmetry and dimensionality reduction of the anisotropic pressure Hessian

Maurizio Carbone, Michele Iovieno, Andrew D Bragg

Analyzing the fluid velocity gradients in a Lagrangian reference frame provides an insightful way to study the small-scale dynamics of turbulent flows, and further insight is provi…

Is vortex stretching the main cause of the turbulent energy cascade?

Maurizio Carbone, Andrew D. Bragg

In three dimensional turbulence there is on average a cascade of kinetic energy from the largest to the smallest scales of the flow. While the dominant idea is that the cascade occ…

Multiscale fluid--particle thermal interaction in isotropic turbulence

Maurizio Carbone, Andrew D. Bragg, Michele Iovieno

We use direct numerical simulations to investigate the interaction between the temperature field of a fluid and the temperature of small particles suspended in the flow, employing…
