The dynamics of inertial particles in fluid flows have been the focus of extensive research due to their relevance in a wide range of industrial and environmental processes. Earlier studies have examined the dynamics of aerosols and bubbles…
We present a model for the Lagrangian dynamics of inertial particles in a compressible flow, where fluid velocity gradients are modelled by a telegraph noise. The model allows for an analytic investigation of the role of time correlation of…
A flowing pair of particles in inertial microfluidics gives important insights into understanding and controlling the collective dynamics of particles like cells or droplets in microfluidic devices. They are applied in medical cell analysis…
In this paper, we study the clustering of inertial particles using a periodic kinematic simulation. The systematic Lagrangian tracking of particles makes it possible to identify the particles' clustering patterns for different values of…
Inertial lift forces are exploited within inertial microfluidic devices to position, segregate, and sort particles or droplets. However the forces and their focusing positions can currently only be predicted by numerical simulations, making…
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…
It is shown that preferential concentrations of inertial (finite-size) particle suspensions in turbulent flows follow from the dissipative nature of their dynamics. In phase space, particle trajectories converge toward a dynamical fractal…
We present the extension of a modeling technique for Lagrangian tracer particles [B. Viggiano et al., J. Fluid Mech.(2020), vol. 900, A27] which accounts for the effects of particle inertia. Thereby, the particle velocity for several Stokes…
Lagrangian techniques, such as the finite-time Lyapunov exponent (FTLE) and hyperbolic Lagrangian coherent structures (LCS), have become popular tools for analyzing unsteady fluid flows. These techniques identify regions where particles…
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…
An asymptotic solution is derived for the motion of inertial particles exposed to Stokes drag in an unsteady random flow. This solution provides the finite-time Lyapunov exponents as a function of Stokes number and Lagrangian strain- and…
Recent developments in dynamical systems theory have revealed long-lived and coherent Lagrangian (i.e., material) eddies in incompressible, satellite-derived surface ocean velocity fields. Paradoxically, observed drifting buoys and floating…
We investigate the response of large inertial particle to turbulent fluctuations in a inhomogeneous and anisotropic flow. We conduct a Lagrangian study using particles both heavier and lighter than the surrounding fluid, and whose diameters…
Mixing of inertial point particles in a turbulent channel flow at Re{\tau} = 950 is investigated by means of direct numerical simulations. We consider inertial particles, at varying Stokes number, released from pairs of sources located at…
We report experimental results on the dynamics of heavy particles of the size of the Kolmogorov-scale in a fully developed turbulent flow. The mixed Eulerian structure function of two-particle velocity and acceleration difference vectors…
It is a wide-spread convention to identify repelling Lagrangian Coherent Structures (LCSs) with ridges of the forward finite-time Lyapunov exponent (FTLE) field, and attracting LCSs with ridges of the backward FTLE. We show that in…
This study investigates the spatial distribution of inertial particles in turbulent Taylor-Couette flow. Direct numerical simulations are performed using a one-way coupled Eulerian-Lagrangian approach, with a fixed inner wall Reynolds…
While more rigorous and sophisticated methods for identifying Lagrangian based coherent structures exist, the finite-time Lyapunov exponent (FTLE) field remains a straightforward and popular method for gaining some insight into transport by…
In an experiment on a turbulent jet, we detect interfacial turbulent layers in a frame that moves, on average, along with the \tnti. This significantly prolongs the observation time of scalar and velocity structures and enables the…
Rheological properties of dense flows of hard particles are singular as one approaches the jamming threshold where flow ceases, both for aerial granular flows dominated by inertia, and for over-damped suspensions. Concomitantly, the…
