Turbulence drag modulation by dispersed droplets in Taylor-Couette flow: the effects of the dispersed phase viscosity
Cheng Wang, Lei Yi, Linfeng Jiang +1
The dispersed phase in turbulence can vary from almost inviscid fluid to highly viscous fluid. By changing the viscosity of the dispersed droplet phase, we experimentally investiga…
Recent developments of turbulent emulsions in Taylor-Couette flow
Lei Yi, Cheng Wang, Sander G. Huisman +1
Emulsions are common in many natural and industrial settings. Recently, much attention has been put on understanding the dynamics of turbulent emulsions. This paper reviews some re…
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…
Physical mechanisms for droplet size and effective viscosity asymmetries in turbulent emulsions
Lei Yi, Cheng Wang, Thomas van Vuren +4
By varying the oil volume fraction, the microscopic droplet size and the macroscopic rheology of emulsions are investigated in a Taylor-Couette (TC) turbulent shear flow. Although…
