Heavy inertial particles in turbulent flows gain energy slowly but lose it rapidly
Akshay Bhatnagar, Anupam Gupta, Dhrubaditya Mitra +1
We present an extensive numerical study of the time irreversibility of the dynamics of heavy inertial particles in three-dimensional, statistically homogeneous and isotropic turbul…
Topology of two-dimensional turbulent flows of dust and gas
Dhrubaditya Mitra, Prasad Perlekar
We perform direct numerical simulations (DNS) of passive heavy inertial particles (dust) in homogeneous and isotropic two-dimensional turbulent flows (gas) for a range of Stokes nu…
Statistics of the relative velocity of particles in turbulent flows : monodisperse particles
Akshay Bhatnagar, K. Gustavsson, Dhrubaditya Mitra
We use direct numerical simulations to calculate the joint probability density function of the relative distance and relative radial velocity component for a pair of heav…
Rheology of suspensions of viscoelastic spheres: deformability as an effective volume fraction
Marco Edoardo Rosti, Luca Brandt, Dhrubaditya Mitra
We study suspensions of deformable (viscoelastic) spheres in a Newtonian solvent in plane Couette geometry, by means of direct numerical simulations. We find that in the limit of v…
The effect of turbulence on mass and heat transfer rates of small inertial particles
Nils Erland L. Haugen, Jonas Kruger, Dhrubaditya Mitra +1
The effect of turbulence on the mass and heat transfer between small heavy inertial particles (HIP) and an embedding fluid is studied. Two effects are identified. The first effect…
