Mixing and sharpening at the interface of a two-layer fluid forced by random jets

Noé Clavier, Hugo Pradel, Romain Volk +2

Understanding mixing at density interfaces is essential for predicting transport in stratified environmental flows. Laboratory studies have mostly relied on steady, spatially unifo…

Lagrangian flow statistics in experimental homogeneous isotropic turbulence

Cheng Wang, Sander G. Huisman, Thomas Basset +2

We report on Lagrangian flow statistics from experimental measurements of homogeneous isotropic turbulence. The investigated flow is driven by 12 impellers inside an icosahedral vo…

Turbulent properties of stationary flows in porous media

Florencia Falkinhoff, Alexandre Ponomarenko, Jean-Lou Pierson +3

In this study, we investigated the flow dynamics in a fixed bed of hydrogel beads using Particle Tracking Velocimetry to compute the velocity field in the middle of the bed for mod…

Influence of the porosity pattern on the aerodynamics of a square plate

Ariane Gayout, Mickaël Bourgoin, Nicolas Plihon

The evolution of the normal aerodynamic coefficient of 19 configurations of square plates with various porosity patterns, ranging from solid plate to homogeneous porous plate, is e…

Path instabilities and drag in the settling of single spheres

Facundo Cabrera-Booman, Nicolas Plihon, Mickaël Bourgoin

The settling behavior of individual spheres in a quiescent fluid was studied experimentally. The dynamics of the spheres was analyzed in the parameter space of particle-to-fluid de…

Suspension of large inertial particles in a turbulent swirling flow

Benjamin Laplace, Jérémy Vessaire, David Oks +3

We present experimental observations of the spatial distribution of large inertial particles suspended in a turbulent swirling flow at high Reynolds number. The plastic particles,…
