Extreme fluctuations of the relative velocities between droplets in turbulent airflow
Ewe-Wei Saw, Gregory P. Bewley, Eberhard Bodenschatz +2
We compare experiments and direct numerical simulations to evaluate the accuracy of the Stokes-drag model, which is used widely in studies of inertial particles in turbulence. We f…
Bending dynamics of semi-flexible macromolecules in isotropic turbulence
Aamir Ali, Samriddhi Sankar Ray, Dario Vincenzi
We study the Lagrangian dynamics of semi-flexible macromolecules in laminar as well as in homogeneous and isotropic turbulent flows by means of analytically solvable stochastic mod…
Gravity-driven enhancement of heavy particle clustering in turbulent flow
Jeremie Bec, Holger Homann, Samriddhi Sankar Ray
Heavy particles suspended in a turbulent flow settle faster than in a still fluid. This effect stems from a preferential sampling of the regions where the fluid flows downward and…
