Full rotational dynamics of plastic microfibers in turbulence
Vlad Giurgiu, Giuseppe Carlo Alp Caridi, Marco De Paoli +1
The motion, settling, and dispersion of microplastics in the ocean are determined by their rotational dynamics. We present experiments on elongated, large aspect ratio, and mildly…
Morphodynamics of melting ice over turbulent warm water streams
Diego Perissutti, Cristian Marchioli, Alfredo Soldati
We investigate the morphodynamics of an ice layer over a turbulent stream of warm water using numerical simulations. At low water speeds, characteristic streamwise undulations appe…
Effect of surfactant-laden droplets on turbulent flow topology
Giovanni Soligo, Alessio Roccon, Alfredo Soldati
In this work, we investigate flow topology modifications produced by a swarm of large surfactant-laden droplets released in a turbulent channel flow. Droplets have same density and…
Influence of density and viscosity on deformation, breakage, and coalescence of bubbles in turbulence
Francesca Mangani, Giovanni Soligo, Alessio Roccon +1
We investigate the effect of density and viscosity differences on a swarm of large and deformable bubbles dispersed in a turbulent channel flow. For a given shear Reynolds number,…
Heat transfer in drop-laden turbulence
Francesca Mangani, Alessio Roccon, Francesco Zonta +1
Heat transfer by large deformable drops in a turbulent flow is a complex and rich in physics system, in which drops deformation, breakage and coalescence influence the transport of…
Experimental assessment of mixing layer scaling laws in Rayleigh-Taylor instability
Marco De Paoli, Diego Perissutti, Cristian Marchioli +1
We assess experimentally the scaling laws that characterize the mixing region produced by the Rayleigh-Taylor instability in a confined porous medium. In particular, we wish to ass…
