Turbulent channel flow of a dense binary mixture of rigid particles
Iman Lashgari, Francesco Picano, Pedro Costa +2
We study turbulent channel flow of a binary mixture of finite-size neutrally-buoyant rigid particles by means of interface-resolved direct numerical simulations. We fix the bulk Re…
Flow and dispersion in anisotropic porous media: a Lattice-Boltzmann study
Dario Maggiolo, Francesco Picano, Massimo Guarnieri
Given their capability of spreading active chemical species and collecting electricity, porous media made of carbon fibers are extensively used as diffusion layers in energy storag…
Reduced particle settling speed in turbulence
Walter Fornari, Francesco Picano, Gaetano Sardina +1
We study the settling of finite-size rigid spheres in sustained homogeneous isotropic turbulence (HIT) by direct numerical simulations using an immersed boundary method to account…
Universal Scaling Laws for Dense Particle Suspensions in Turbulent Wall-Bounded Flows
Pedro Costa, Francesco Picano, Luca Brandt +1
The macroscopic behavior of dense suspensions of neutrally-buoyant spheres in turbulent plane channel flow is examined. We show that particles larger than the smallest turbulence s…
