Coagulation and fragmentation dynamics of inertial particles
Jens C. Zahnow, Rafael D. Vilela, Ulrike Feudel +1
Inertial particles suspended in many natural and industrial flows undergo coagulation upon collisions and fragmentation if their size becomes too large or if they experience large…
Signatures of fractal clustering of aerosols advected under gravity
Rafael Dias Vilela, Tamás Tél, Alessandro P. S. de Moura +1
Aerosols under chaotic advection often approach a strange attractor. They move chaotically on this fractal set but, in the presence of gravity, they have a net vertical motion down…
Can aerosols be trapped in open flows?
Rafael D. Vilela, Adilson E. Motter
The fate of aerosols in open flows is relevant in a variety of physical contexts. Previous results are consistent with the assumption that such finite-size particles always escape…
Finite-size effects on open chaotic advection
Rafael Dias Vilela, Alessandro P. S. de Moura, Celso Grebogi
We study the effects of finite-sizeness on small, neutrally buoyant, spherical particles advected by open chaotic flows. We show that, when projected onto configuration space, the…
