Large-scale confinement and small-scale clustering of floating particles in stratified turbulence
A. Sozza, F. De Lillo, S. Musacchio +1
We study the motion of small inertial particles in stratified turbulence. We derive a simplified model, valid within the Boussinesq approximation, for the dynamics of small particl…
