Water entry of spheres into a rotating liquid
Lei Yi, Shuai Li, Hechuan Jiang +3
The transient cavity dynamics during water entry of a heavy, non-rotating sphere impacting a rotating pool of liquid is studied experimentally, numerically, and theoretically. We s…
Rotational dynamics of bottom-heavy rods in turbulence from experiments and numerical simulations
Linfeng Jiang, Cheng Wang, Shuang Liu +2
We successfully perform the three-dimensional tracking in a turbulent fluid flow of small asymmetrical particles that are neutrally-buoyant and bottom-heavy, i.e., they have a non-…
Ice front shaping by upward convective current
Ziqi Wang, Linfeng Jiang, Yihong Du +2
The extent and the morphology of ice forming in a differentially heated cavity filled with water is studied by means of experiments and numerical simulations. We show that the main…
Global and local statistics in turbulent emulsions
Lei Yi, Federico Toschi, Chao Sun
Turbulent emulsions are complex physical systems characterized by a strong and dynamical coupling between small-scale droplets and large-scale rheology. By using a specifically des…
Supergravitational turbulent thermal convection
Hechuan Jiang, Xiaojue Zhu, Dongpu Wang +2
High-Rayleigh number convective turbulence is ubiquitous in many natural phenomena and in industries, such as atmospheric circulations, oceanic flows, flows in the fluid core of pl…
Catastrophic phase inversion in high-Reynolds number turbulent Taylor--Couette flow
Dennis Bakhuis, Rodrigo Ezeta, Pim A. Bullee +4
Emulsions are omnipresent in the food industry, health care, and chemical synthesis. In this Letter the dynamics of meta-stable oil-water emulsions in highly turbulent ($10^{11}\le…
Leidenfrost drop impact on inclined superheated substrates
Yujie Wang, Ayoub El Bouhali, Sijia Lyu +5
In real applications, drops always impact on solid walls with various inclinations. For the oblique impact of a Leidenfrost drop, which has a vapor layer under its bottom surface t…
Lagrangian dynamics and heat transfer in porous media convection
Shuang Liu, Linfeng Jiang, Cheng Wang +1
We report a numerical study of Rayleigh--Bénard convection through random porous media using pore-scale modelling, focusing on the Lagrangian dynamics of fluid particles and heat t…
How the growth of ice depends on the fluid dynamics underneath
Ziqi Wang, Enrico Calzavarini, Chao Sun +1
Convective flows coupled with solidification or melting in water bodies play a major role in shaping geophysical landscapes. Particularly in relation to the global climate warming…
Kinematics and dynamics of freely rising spheroids at high Reynolds numbers
J. B. Will, V. Mathai, S. G. Huisman +3
We experimentally investigate the effect of geometrical anisotropy for buoyant ellipsoidal particles rising in a still fluid. All other parameters, such as the Galileo number $Ga \…
Bubbly drag reduction using a hydrophobic inner cylinder in Taylor-Couette turbulence
Pim A. Bullee, Ruben A. Verschoof, Dennis Bakhuis +4
In this study we experimentally investigate bubbly drag reduction in a highly turbulent flow of water with dispersed air at $5.0 \times 10^{5} \leq \text{Re} \leq 1.7 \times 10^{6}…
From Rayleigh-Bénard convection to porous-media convection: how porosity affects heat transfer and flow structure
Shuang Liu, Linfeng Jiang, Kai Leong Chong +6
We perform a numerical study of the heat transfer and flow structure of Rayleigh-Bénard (RB) convection in (in most cases regular) porous media, which are comprised of circular, so…
