Extreme fluctuations of the relative velocities between droplets in turbulent airflow
Ewe-Wei Saw, Gregory P. Bewley, Eberhard Bodenschatz +2
We compare experiments and direct numerical simulations to evaluate the accuracy of the Stokes-drag model, which is used widely in studies of inertial particles in turbulence. We f…
Turbulent pair dispersion as a continuous-time random walk
Simon Thalabard, Giorgio Krstulovic, Jeremie Bec
The phenomenology of turbulent relative dispersion is revisited. A heuristic scenario is proposed, in which pairs of tracers undergo a succession of independent ballistic separatio…
Clustering, fronts, and heat transfer in turbulent suspensions of heavy particles
Jeremie Bec, Holger Homann, Giorgio Krstulovic
Heavy inertial particles transported by a turbulent flow are shown to concentrate in the regions where an advected passive scalar, such as temperature, displays very strong front-l…
Gravity-driven enhancement of heavy particle clustering in turbulent flow
Jeremie Bec, Holger Homann, Samriddhi Sankar Ray
Heavy particles suspended in a turbulent flow settle faster than in a still fluid. This effect stems from a preferential sampling of the regions where the fluid flows downward and…
