Local pore size correlations determine flow distributions in porous media
Karen Alim, Shima Parsa, David A. Weitz +1
The relationship between the microstructure of a porous medium and the observed flow distribution is still a puzzle. We resolve it with an analytical model, where the local correla…
Measurements of the Solid-body Rotation of Anisotropic Particles in 3D Turbulence
Guy G. Marcus, Shima Parsa, Stefan Kramel +2
We introduce a new method to measure Lagrangian vorticity and the rotational dynamics of anisotropic particles in a turbulent fluid flow. We use 3D printing technology to fabricate…
Inertial Range Scaling in Rotations of Long Rods in Turbulence
Shima Parsa, Greg A. Voth
We measure the rotational statistics of neutrally buoyant rods with lengths in turbulence. For particles with length in the inertial range, we derive a scaling re…
Rotation Rate of Rods in Turbulent Fluid Flow
Shima Parsa, Enrico Calzavarini, Federico Toschi +1
The rotational dynamics of anisotropic particles advected in a turbulent fluid flow are important in many industrial and natural setting. Particle rotations are controlled by small…
