Experimental study of diffusiophoresis in a cellular flow

Florence Raynal, Menghua Zhao, Romain Volk

In this article, we study experimentally the dispersion of colloids in a two-dimensional, time independent, Rayleigh-Bénard flow in the presence of salt gradients. Due to the addit…

A spatio-temporal random synthetic turbulent velocity field: The underlying Gaussian structure

Matthieu Chatelain, Júlia Domingues Lemos, Wandrille Ruffenach +5

We develop, simulate and extend an initial proposition by Chaves et al. concerning a random incompressible vector field able to reproduce key ingredients of three-dimensional turbu…

Lagrangian flow statistics in experimental homogeneous isotropic turbulence

Cheng Wang, Sander G. Huisman, Thomas Basset +2

We report on Lagrangian flow statistics from experimental measurements of homogeneous isotropic turbulence. The investigated flow is driven by 12 impellers inside an icosahedral vo…

Turbulent properties of stationary flows in porous media

Florencia Falkinhoff, Alexandre Ponomarenko, Jean-Lou Pierson +3

In this study, we investigated the flow dynamics in a fixed bed of hydrogel beads using Particle Tracking Velocimetry to compute the velocity field in the middle of the bed for mod…

Lagrangian modeling of a non-homogeneous turbulent shear flow: Molding homogeneous and isotropic trajectories into a jet

Bianca Viggiano, Thomas Basset, Mickaël Bourgoin +4

Turbulence is prevalent in nature and industry, from large-scale wave dynamics to small-scale combustion nozzle sprays. In addition to the multi-scale nonlinear complexity and both…

Suspension of large inertial particles in a turbulent swirling flow

Benjamin Laplace, Jérémy Vessaire, David Oks +3

We present experimental observations of the spatial distribution of large inertial particles suspended in a turbulent swirling flow at high Reynolds number. The plastic particles,…
