Turbophoresis of inertial particles in inhomogeneous turbulence generated by oscillating grids
E. Elmakies, O. Shildkrot, N. Kleeorin +2
Turbophoresis in inhomogeneous turbulent flows leads to the formation of large-scale nonuniform particle number density distributions of inertial particles. This effect is associat…
Experimental study of turbulent thermal diffusion of inertial particles in a convective turbulence forced by oscillating grids
E. Elmakies, O. Shildkrot, N. Kleeorin +2
We investigate the phenomenon of turbulent thermal diffusion of inertial solid particles in laboratory experiments with convective turbulence forced by one or two oscillating grids…
Experimental investigation of turbulence and turbulent thermal diffusion in strongly inhomogeneous and anisotropic forced convection
E. Zarbib, E. Elmakies, O. Shildkrot +3
We investigate properties of turbulence and turbulent transport of non-inertial particles described in terms of turbulent thermal diffusion in strongly inhomogeneous and anisotropi…
Large-scale semi-organized rolls in a sheared convective turbulence: Mean-field simulations
A. Asulin, E. Tkachenko, N. Kleeorin +2
Based on a mean-field theory of a non-rotating turbulent convection (Phys. Rev. E {\bf 66}, 066305, 2002), we perform mean-field simulations (MFS) of sheared convection which takes…
