Turbulent convection in emulsions: the Rayleigh-Bénard configuration
Abbas Moradi Bilondi, Nicolò Scapin, Luca Brandt +1
This study explores heat and turbulent modulation in three-dimensional multiphase Rayleigh-Bénard convection using direct numerical simulations. Two immiscible fluids with identica…
Aspect ratio effect on particle transport in turbulent duct flows
Azad Noorani, Ricardo Vinuesa, Luca Brandt +1
The dynamics of dilute micron-sized spherical inertial particles in turbulent duct flows is studied by means of direct numerical simulations of the carrier phase turbulence with on…
Sedimentation of elongated non-motile prolate spheroids in homogenous isotropic turbulence
M. Niazi Ardekani, G. Sardina, L. Brandt +3
Phytoplankton are the foundation of aquatic food webs. Through photosynthesis, phytoplankton draw down CO2 at magnitudes equivalent to forests and other terrestrial plants and conv…
Transition and self-sustained turbulence in dilute suspensions of finite-size particles
Iman Lashgari, Francesco Picano, Luca Brandt
We study the transition to turbulence of channel flow of finite-size particle suspensions at low volume fraction, i.e. . The critical Reynolds number above which tu…
Numerical simulations of aggregate breakup in bounded and unbounded turbulent flows
Matthaus U. Babler, Luca Biferale, Luca Brandt +8
Breakup of small aggregates in fully developed turbulence is studied by means of direct numerical simulations in a series of typical bounded and unbounded flow configurations, such…
The lift-up effect: the linear mechanism behind transition and turbulence in shear flows
Luca Brandt
The formation and amplification of streamwise velocity perturbations induced by cross-stream disturbances is ubiquitous in shear flows. This disturbance growth mechanism, so neatly…
