Clustering of Rapidly Settling, Low-Inertia Particle Pairs in Isotropic Turbulence. I. Drift and Diffusion Flux Closures
Sarma L. Rani, Vijay K. Gupta, Donald L. Koch
In this two--part study, we present the development and analysis of a stochastic theory for characterizing the relative positions of monodisperse, low-inertia particle pairs that a…
