Rotational dynamics of bottom-heavy rods in turbulence from experiments and numerical simulations
Linfeng Jiang, Cheng Wang, Shuang Liu +2
We successfully perform the three-dimensional tracking in a turbulent fluid flow of small asymmetrical particles that are neutrally-buoyant and bottom-heavy, i.e., they have a non-…
Ice front shaping by upward convective current
Ziqi Wang, Linfeng Jiang, Yihong Du +2
The extent and the morphology of ice forming in a differentially heated cavity filled with water is studied by means of experiments and numerical simulations. We show that the main…
Fluctuations and correlations of reactive scalars near chemical equilibrium in incompressible turbulence
Wenwei Wu, Enrico Calzavarini, François G. Schmitt +1
The statistical properties of species undergoing chemical reactions in a turbulent environment are studied. We focus on the case of reversible multi-component reactions of second a…
How the growth of ice depends on the fluid dynamics underneath
Ziqi Wang, Enrico Calzavarini, Chao Sun +1
Convective flows coupled with solidification or melting in water bodies play a major role in shaping geophysical landscapes. Particularly in relation to the global climate warming…
Settling of inertial particles in turbulent Rayleigh-Benard convection
Vojtech Patocka, Enrico Calzavarini, Nicola Tosi
The settling behaviour of small inertial particles in turbulent convection is a fundamental problem across several disciplines, from geophysics to metallurgy. In a geophysical cont…
