Inertial rotation of a small oblate spheroid in a simple shear flow
Ziqi Wang, Xander M. de Wit, Davide Di Giusto +5
We compare experiments and fully-resolved particle simulations designed to match the experimental conditions of a weakly inertial, neutrally buoyant, moderately oblate spheroid in…
Flow-driven hysteresis in the transition boiling regime
Alessandro Gabbana, Xander M. de Wit, Linlin Fei +3
Transition boiling is an intermediate regime occurring between nucleate boiling, where bubbles at the surface efficiently carry heat away, and film boiling, where a layer of vapor…
Intermittency suppression in turbulence via forced light particles
André Freitas, Xander M. de Wit, Ziqi Wang +2
We investigate how turbulence is reshaped by the presence of externally forced light particles, using high-resolution direct numerical simulations with four-way coupling. The parti…
DBSCAN in domains with periodic boundary conditions
Xander M. de Wit, Alessandro Gabbana
Many scientific problems involve data that is embedded in a space with periodic boundary conditions. This can for instance be related to an inherent cyclic or rotational symmetry i…
