We performed high resolution numerical simulations of homogenous and isotropic compressible turbulence, with an average 3D Mach number close to 0.3. We study the statistical properties of intermittency for velocity, density and entropy. For…
It is shown, using results of recent direct numerical simulations, laboratory experiments and atmospheric measurements, that buoyancy driven turbulence exhibits a broad diversity of the types of distributed chaos with its stretched…
We study the dynamics of a spherical steel ball falling freely through a solution of entangled wormlike-micelles. If the sphere diameter is larger than a threshold value, the settling velocity shows repeated short oscillatory bursts…
The macroscopic behavior of dense suspensions of neutrally-buoyant spheres in turbulent plane channel flow is examined. We show that particles larger than the smallest turbulence scales cause the suspension to deviate from the continuum…
Experiments of particle-laden inclined film flow [Zhou, Dupuy, Bertozzi, and Hosoi, Phys. Rev. Lett. 94 (2005)] have displayed different settling behaviors depending on the particle concentration $\phi$ and angle of inclination $\theta$, in…
Two mechanisms are considered responsible for the turbulence modification due to suspended particles in a turbulent gas-particle suspension. Turbulence augmentation is due to the enhancement of fluctuations by wakes behind particles,…
We experimentally investigate the Lagrangian dynamics of finite-sized, neutrally buoyant droplets in homogeneous isotropic turbulence. The droplet size follows a log-normal distribution whose average value decreases with increasing Reynolds…
An effective medium approach together with a multiple scattering formalism is considered to study the steady-state dynamics of suspensions of spheres and rigid stiff polymer chains (Gaussian) without excluded volume interactions. The…
Jump penalty stabilisation techniques have been recently proposed for continuous and discontinuous high order Galerkin schemes [1,2,3]. The stabilisation relies on the gradient or solution discontinuity at element interfaces to incorporate…
The gradient and curvature of the Parker spiral interplanetary magnetic field give rise to curvature and gradient guiding centre drifts on cosmic rays. The plasma turbulence present in the interplanetary space is thought to suppress the…
We study turbulent channel flows of monodisperse and polydisperse suspensions of finite-size spheres by means of Direct Numerical Simulations using an immersed boundary method to account for the dispersed phase. Suspensions with 3 different…
The orientation of small anisotropic particles settling in a turbulent fluid determines some essential properties of the suspension. We show that the orientation distribution of small heavy spheroids settling through turbulence can be…
The effect of turbulence on the mass and heat transfer between small heavy inertial particles (HIP) and an embedding fluid is studied. Two effects are identified. The first effect is due to the relative velocity between the fluid and the…
The dispersed phase in turbulence can vary from almost inviscid fluid to highly viscous fluid. By changing the viscosity of the dispersed droplet phase, we experimentally investigate how the deformability of dispersed droplets affects the…
We use a mesoscopic computer simulation method to study the interplay between hydrodynamic and Brownian fluctuations during steady-state sedimentation of hard sphere particles for Peclet numbers (Pe) ranging from 0.1 to 15. Even when the…
We use three-dimensional direct numerical simulations of homogeneous isotropic turbulence in a cubic domain to investigate the dynamics of heavy, chiral, finite-size inertial particles and their effects on the flow. Using an…
We analyze the transport and deposition behavior of dilute microparticles in turbulent Rayleigh-B\'enard convection. Two-dimensional direct numerical simulations were carried out for the Rayleigh number ($Ra$) of $10^{8}$ and the Prandtl…
Heavy particles suspended in turbulent flow possess inertia and are ejected from violent vortical structures by centrifugal forces. Once piled up along particle paths, this small-scale mechanism leads to an effective large-scale drift. This…
We report experimental results on the relative motion of pairs of solid spheric particles with initial separations in the inertial range of fully developed turbulence in water. The particle densities were in the range of $1 \lessapprox…
This study investigates the dynamics of non-isothermal swirling jets undergoing vortex breakdown, with an emphasis on helical coherent structures. It is proposed that the dominant helical coherent structure can be suppressed by heating the…
