Numerical study of polymer tumbling in linear shear flows
A. Puliafito, K. Turitsyn
We investigate numerically the dynamics of a single polymer in a linear shear flow. The effects of thermal fluctuations and randomly fluctuating velocity gradients are both analyze…
Polymers in linear shear flow: a numerical study
A. Celani, A. Puliafito, K. Turitsyn
We study the dynamics of a single polymer subject to thermal fluctuations in a linear shear flow. The polymer is modeled as a finitely extendable nonlinear elastic FENE dumbbell. B…
Polymer dynamics in chaotic flows with strong shear component
K. S. Turitsyn
We consider the internal dynamics of the polymer molecule which is injected in the chaotic flow with strong mean shear component. The flow geometry corresponds to the recent experi…
Passive Scalar Evolution in Peripheral Region
V. V. Lebedev, K. S. Turitsyn
We consider evolution of a passive scalar (concentration of pollutants or temperature) in a chaotic (turbulent) flow. A universal asymptotic behavior of the passive scalar decay (h…
Air parcel random walk and droplet spectra broadening in clouds
K. S. Turitsyn
We study the effect of turbulent flow on the droplet growth in a cloud during the condensational phase. Using the air parcel model, we describe analytically how the distribution of…
