Experimental investigation into Lagrangian statistics of droplets in homogeneous isotropic turbulence
Lu Li, Yi-Bao Zhang, Yaning Fan +2
We experimentally investigate the Lagrangian dynamics of finite-sized, neutrally buoyant droplets in homogeneous isotropic turbulence. The droplet size follows a log-normal distrib…
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…
Non-reciprocal coalescence-breakup dynamics in concentrated emulsions
Ivan Girotto, Andrea Scagliarini, Lei Yi +3
Dense stabilized emulsions are mixtures of immiscible fluids where the high-volume fraction droplet dispersed phase is stabilized against coalescence by steric interactions. The pr…
Stochastic resonance of rotating particles in turbulence
Ziqi Wang, Xander M. de Wit, Roberto Benzi +4
The chaotic dynamics of small-scale vorticity plays a key role in understanding and controlling turbulence, with direct implications for energy transfer, mixing, and coherent struc…
