Mean flow anisotropy without waves in rotating turbulence
J. A. Brons, P. J. Thomas, A. Potherat
We tackle the question of how anisotropy in flows subject to background rotation favours structures elongated along the rotation axis, especially in turbulent flows. A new, wave-fr…
Microbubbles and microparticles are not faithful tracers of turbulent acceleration
Varghese Mathai, Enrico Calzavarini, Jon Brons +2
We report on the Lagrangian statistics of acceleration of small (sub-Kolmogorov) bubbles and tracer particles with Stokes number St << 1 in turbulent flow. At decreasing Reynolds n…
Wake-driven dynamics of finite-sized buoyant spheres in turbulence
Varghese Mathai, Vivek N. Prakash, Jon Brons +2
Particles suspended in turbulent flows are affected by the turbulence and at the same time act back on the flow. The resulting coupling can give rise to rich variability in their d…
