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…
