Attitude estimation using scalar measurements, corresponding to partial vectorial observations, arises naturally when inertial vectors are not fully observed but only measured along specific body-frame vectors. Such measurements arise in…
We present the results of a Direct Numerical Simulation of a particle-laden spatially developing turbulent boundary layer up to Re{\theta} = 2500. Two main features differentiate the behavior of inertial particles in a zero-…
This paper examines the rigid body motion of a spheroid sedimenting in a Newtonian fluid with a spatially varying viscosity field. The fluid is at zero Reynolds number, and the viscosity varies linearly in space in an arbitrary direction…
We study the Vlasov-Stokes equations which macroscopically model the sedimentation of a cloud of particles in a fluid, where particle inertia are taken into account but fluid inertia are assumed to be negligible. We consider the limit when…
With increased glacial melting and the need to maintain sediment continuity for ecosystem health, sediment-laden flows through hydropower plants are becoming increasingly problematic, particularly due to erosion on runner blades and…
We study the hydrodynamics of spherical spinners suspended in a Newtonian fluid at inertial regime. We observe a spontaneous condensation of the spinners into particle rich regions, at low but finite particle Reynolds numbers and volume…
In this paper, we consider $N$ identical spherical particles sedimenting in a uniform gravitational field. Particle rotation is included in the model while inertia is neglected. Using the method of reflections, we extend the investigation…
It is a commonly observed phenomenon that spherical particles with inertia in an incompressible fluid do not behave as ideal tracers. Due to the inertia of the particle, the dynamics are described in a four dimensional phase space and thus…
We consider suspensions of neutrally-buoyant finite-size rigid spherical particles in channel flow and investigate the relation between the particle dynamics and the mean bulk behavior of the mixture for Reynolds numbers $500 \le Re \le…
We demonstrate that discontinuous shear thickening (DST) can occur even in moderately dense, inertial suspensions of hydrodynamically interacting, frictionless soft particles. Using the Lubrication-Friction Discrete Element Method, our…
We study the inertial migration of finite-size neutrally buoyant spherical particles in dilute and semi-dilute suspensions in laminar square duct flow. We perform several direct numerical simulations using an immersed boundary method to…
The distribution of particle accelerations in turbulence is intermittent, with non-Gaussian tails that are quite different for light and heavy particles. In this article we analyse a closure scheme for the acceleration fluctuations of light…
Viscous resuspension, the process by which sedimented particles are re-entrained into a fluid under flow, is central to numerous natural and industrial systems, including environmental contaminant transport, riverbed erosion, and…
We study the overdamped sedimentation of non-Brownian objects of irregular shape using fluctuating hydrodynamics. The anisotropic response of the objects to flow, caused by their tendency to align with gravity, directly suppresses…
We study the local and global rheology of non-Brownian suspensions in a solvent that is not density-matched, leading to either creaming or sedimentation of the particles. Both local and global measurements show that the incomplete density…
Preferential concentration of inertial particles in turbulent flow is studied by high resolution direct numerical simulations of two-dimensional turbulence. The formation of network-like regions of high particle density, characterized by a…
Starting from the equations of Stokes flow and the mass conservation of particles as determined by shear-induced diffusion, we derive the coupled equations for the dynamics of particle concentration and film thickness for the free-surface…
We investigate aggregation and fragmentation dynamics of tracers and inertial aggregates in random flows leading to steady state size distributions. Our objective is to elucidate the impact of changes in aggregation rates, due to…
We investigate confined shear thickening suspensions for which the sample thickness is comparable to the particle dimensions. Rheometry measurements are presented for densely packed suspensions of spheres and rods with aspect ratios 6 and…
We examine the dynamics of small anisotropic particles (spheroids) sedimenting through homogeneous isotropic turbulence using direct numerical simulations and theory. The gravity-induced inertial torque acting on sub-Kolmogorov spheroids…
