Dynamics of small bubbles in turbulence in non-dilute conditions
Xander M. de Wit, Hessel J. Adelerhof, André Freitas +3
Turbulent flows laden with small bubbles are ubiquitous in many natural and industrial environments. From the point of view of numerical modeling, to be able to handle a very large…
Tracking the rotation of light magnetic particles in turbulence
Chunlai Wu, Rudie P. J. Kunnen, Ziqi Wang +3
Particle-laden turbulence involves complex interactions between the dispersed and continuous phases. Given that particles can exhibit a wide range of properties, such as varying de…
Odd viscosity suppresses intermittency in direct turbulent cascades
Sihan Chen, Xander M. de Wit, Michel Fruchart +2
Intermittency refers to the broken self-similarity of turbulent flows caused by anomalous spatio-temporal fluctuations. In this Letter, we ask how intermittency is affected by a no…
Localization-delocalization transition for light particles in turbulence
Ziqi Wang, Xander M de Wit, Federico Toschi
Small bubbles in fluids raise to the surface due to Archimede's force. Remarkably, in turbulent flows this process is severely hindered by the presence of vortex filaments, which a…
Efficient point-based simulation of four-way coupled particles in turbulence at high number density
Xander M. de Wit, Rudie P. J. Kunnen, Herman J. H. Clercx +1
In many natural and industrial applications, turbulent flows encompass some form of dispersed particles. Although this type of multiphase turbulent flow is omnipresent, its numeric…
