Settling of chiral particles in a turbulent flow
Mees M. Flapper, John E. Sader, Detlef Lohse +1
Chiral particles are experimentally investigated while settling inwater with various turbulence intensity levels. The locations and orientations of the particles are tracked over t…
Chiral Particles in Taylor-Couette Turbulence
Mees M. Flapper, Detlef Lohse, Sander G. Huisman
This work investigates chiral particles, which break mirror symmetry, in turbulent Taylor--Couette flow. These particles generally display a translation-rotation coupling moving th…
Settling dynamics of an oloid: experiments and simulations
Mees M. Flapper, Giulia Piumini, Roberto Verzicco +2
This study presents a combined experimental and computational investigation of an oloid shaped particle settling in a quiescent fluid. The oloid, a unique convex shape with anisotr…
Collective effects of neighbouring melting ice objects
Sofía Angriman, Detlef Lohse, Roberto Verzicco +1
We present a study on the melting dynamics of neighbouring ice bodies by means of idealised simulations, focusing on collective effects, with the goal of obtaining fundamental insi…
Salts promote or inhibit bubbly drag reduction in turbulent Taylor-Couette flows
Luuk J. Blaauw, Detlef Lohse, Sander G. Huisman
Bubbly drag reduction is considered as one of the most promising techniques to reduce the energy consumption of marine vessels. With this technique bubbles are injected under the h…
Melting of floating ice cylinders in fresh and saline environments
Edoardo Bellincioni, Detlef Lohse, Sander G. Huisman
We experimentally investigated the melting of floating ice cylinders. Experiments were carried out in a tank, with ice cylinders with radii between 5 cm and 12 cm, floating horizon…
