Heavy particle concentration in turbulence at dissipative and inertial scales
J. Bec, L. Biferale, M. Cencini +3
Spatial distributions of heavy particles suspended in an incompressible isotropic and homogeneous turbulent flow are investigated by means of high resolution direct numerical simul…
Synchronization of extended chaotic systems with long-range interactions: an analogy to Levy-flight spreading of epidemics
Claudio Juan Tessone, Massimo Cencini, Alessandro Torcini
Spatially extended chaotic systems with power-law decaying interactions are considered. Two coupled replicas of such systems synchronize to a common spatio-temporal chaotic state a…
Clustering of heavy particles in the inertial range of turbulence
J. Bec, M. Cencini, R. Hillerbrand
A statistical description of heavy particles suspended in incompressible rough self-similar flows is developed. It is shown that, differently from smooth flows, particles do not fo…
Lyapunov exponents of heavy particles in turbulence
Jeremie Bec, Luca Biferale, Guido Boffetta +3
Lyapunov exponents of heavy particles and tracers advected by homogeneous and isotropic turbulent flows are investigated by means of direct numerical simulations. For large values…
On the effects of vortex trapping on the velocity statistics of tracers and heavy particle in turbulent flows
Jeremie Bec, Luca Biferale, Massimo Cencini +2
The Lagrangian statistics of heavy particles and of fluid tracers transported by a fully developed turbulent flow are investigated by means of high resolution direct numerical simu…
Macroscopic equations for the adiabatic piston
Massimo Cencini, Luigi Palatella, Simone Pigolotti +1
A simplified version of a classical problem in thermodynamics -- the adiabatic piston -- is discussed in the framework of kinetic theory. We consider the limit of gases whose relax…
Dynamics and statistics of heavy particles in turbulent flows
M. Cencini, J. Bec, L. Biferale +5
We present the results of Direct Numerical Simulations (DNS) of turbulent flows seeded with millions of passive inertial particles. The maximum Taylor's Reynolds number is around 2…
