Experimental investigation into Lagrangian statistics of droplets in homogeneous isotropic turbulence
Lu Li, Yi-Bao Zhang, Yaning Fan +2
We experimentally investigate the Lagrangian dynamics of finite-sized, neutrally buoyant droplets in homogeneous isotropic turbulence. The droplet size follows a log-normal distrib…
Active biphasic heat transfer enhancement in vertical natural convection
Haoran Qi, Chaoben Zhao, Yaning Fan +3
Vertical natural convection (VC), often cannot meet the high heat transfer demands due to the inherent misalignment of the direction of buoyancy (vertical) with the direction of th…
Dynamic equilibrium of electrochemical bubbles growing on micro-electrodes
Mengyuan Huang, Chao Sun, Kerstin Eckert +2
In gas evolving electrolysis, bubbles grow at electrodes due to a diffusive influx from oversaturation generated locally in the electrolyte by the electrode reaction. When consider…
Evaporation of acoustically levitated bicomponent droplets: mass and heat transfer characteristics
Yuki Wakata, Xing Chao, Chao Sun +1
Evaporation of multicomponent droplets is important in a wide range of applications, albeit complex, and requires a careful investigation. We experimentally and numerically investi…
Effect of radius ratio on the sheared annular centrifugal turbulent convection
Jun Zhong, Junyi Li, Chao Sun
We perform the linear stability analysis and direct numerical simulations to study the effect of radius ratio on the instability and flow characteristics of the sheared annular cen…
Direct numerical simulation of Taylor-Couette flow with vertical asymmetric rough walls
Fan Xu, Jinghong Su, Bin Lan +4
Direct numerical simulations are performed to explore the effects of rotating direction of the vertical asymmetric rough wall on the transport properties of Taylor-Couette (TC) flo…
On the thermal effect of porous material in porous media Rayleigh-Bénard convection
Jun Zhong, Shuang Liu, Chao Sun
We perform a two-dimensional numerical study on the thermal effect of porous media on global heat transport and flow structure in Rayleigh-Bénard (RB) convection, focusing on the r…
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…
Evidences for the existence of the ultimate regime in supergravitational turbulent thermal convection
Hechuan Jiang, Dongpu Wang, Shuang Liu +1
What is the final state of turbulence when the driving parameter approaches to infinity? For thermal turbulence, in 1962, Kraichnan proposed a so-called ultimate scaling dependence…
