Particle-to-fluid heat transfer in particle-laden turbulence
Hadi Pouransari, Ali Mani
Preferential concentration of inertial particles by turbulence is a well recognized phenomenon. This study investigates how this phenomenon impacts the mean heat transfer between t…
Effect of texture randomization on the slip and interfacial robustness in turbulent flows over superhydrophobic surfaces
Jongmin Seo, Ali Mani
Superhydrophobic surfaces demonstrate promising potential for skin friction reduction in naval and hydrodynamic applications. Recent developments of superhydrophobic surfaces aimin…
A Predictive Model for Convective Flows Induced by Surface Reactivity Contrast
Scott. M. Davidson, Rob G. H. Lammertink, Ali Mani
Concentration gradients in a fluid along a reactive surface due to contrast in surface reactivity generate convective flows. These flows result from contributions by electro and di…
A modal analysis of the behavior of inertial particles in turbulence
Mahdi Esmaily-Moghadam, Ali Mani
The clustering of small heavy inertial particles subjected to Stokes drag in turbulence is known to be minimal at small and large Stokes number and substantial at $\rm St = \mathca…
Correction scheme for point-particle two-way coupling applied to nonlinear drag law
Jeremy Horwitz, Ali Mani
Drag laws for particles in fluids are often expressed in terms of the undisturbed fluid velocity, defined as the fluid velocity a particle sees before the disturbance develops in t…
