Avalanches of choice: how stranger-to-stranger interactions shape crowd dynamics

Ziqi Wang, Alessandro Gabbana, Federico Toschi

Pedestrian routing choices play a crucial role in shaping collective crowd dynamics, yet the influence of interactions among unfamiliar individuals remains poorly understood. In th…

Inertial rotation of a small oblate spheroid in a simple shear flow

Ziqi Wang, Xander M. de Wit, Davide Di Giusto +5

We compare experiments and fully-resolved particle simulations designed to match the experimental conditions of a weakly inertial, neutrally buoyant, moderately oblate spheroid in…

Flow-driven hysteresis in the transition boiling regime

Alessandro Gabbana, Xander M. de Wit, Linlin Fei +3

Transition boiling is an intermediate regime occurring between nucleate boiling, where bubbles at the surface efficiently carry heat away, and film boiling, where a layer of vapor…

Intermittency suppression in turbulence via forced light particles

André Freitas, Xander M. de Wit, Ziqi Wang +2

We investigate how turbulence is reshaped by the presence of externally forced light particles, using high-resolution direct numerical simulations with four-way coupling. The parti…

Tracking the rotation of light magnetic particles in turbulence

Chunlai Wu, Rudie P. J. Kunnen, Ziqi Wang +3

Particle-laden turbulence involves complex interactions between the dispersed and continuous phases. Given that particles can exhibit a wide range of properties, such as varying de…

Stochastic resonance of rotating particles in turbulence

Ziqi Wang, Xander M. de Wit, Roberto Benzi +4

The chaotic dynamics of small-scale vorticity plays a key role in understanding and controlling turbulence, with direct implications for energy transfer, mixing, and coherent struc…
