We study turbulent flows in pressure-driven ducts with square cross-section through direct numerical simulation in a wide enough range of Reynolds number to reach flow conditions which are representative of fully developed turbulence.…
Direct numerical simulations (DNS) of particle-laden turbulent flow in straight, mildly curved and strongly bent pipes are performed in which the solid phase is modelled as small heavy spherical particles. A total of seven populations of…
In particle-laden turbulent flows the turbulence in carrier fluid phase gets affected by the dispersed particle phase for volume fraction above $10^{-4}$ and hence reverse coupling or two-way coupling becomes relevant in that volume…
Particles suspended in fluid flow through a curved duct focus to stable equilibrium positions in the duct cross-section due to the balance of two dominant forces: (i) inertial lift force - arising from the inertia of the fluid, and (ii)…
The dynamics of the transported powder determines the functionality and safety of pneumatic conveying systems. The relation between the carrier gas flow, induced by the flown-through geometry, and the powder flow pattern is not clear yet…
We examine the effect of Dean number on the inertial focusing of spherical particles suspended in flow through curved microfluidic ducts. Previous modelling of particle migration in curved ducts assumed the flow rate was small enough that a…
We present the first direct numerical simulations of particle-laden turbulent flow in concentric annuli to investigate the effects of transverse curvature over a range of Stokes numbers. The results demonstrate that transverse curvature…
We report experimental observations of turbulent flow with spherical particles in a square duct. Three particle sizes namely: $2H/d_{p}$ = 40, 16 and 9 ($2H$ being the duct full height and $d_{p}$ being the particle diameter) are…
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…
Suspensions of finite-size solid particles in a turbulent pipe flow are found in many industrial and technical flows. Due to the ample parameter space consisting of particle size, concentration, density and Reynolds number, a complete…
We study the effect of particle shape on the turbulence in suspensions of spheroidal particles at volume fraction $\phi = 10\%$ and show how the near-wall particle dynamics deeply changes with the particle aspect ratio and how this affects…
The aim of the present work is to investigate the role of coherent structures in the generation of the secondary flow in a turbulent square duct. The coherent structures are defined as connected regions of flow where the product of the…
We report on direct numerical simulations of the effect of electrostatic charges on particle-laden duct flows. The corresponding electrostatic forces are known to affect particle dynamics at small scales and the associated turbophoretic…
We develop a model of the forces on a spherical particle suspended in flow through a curved duct under the assumption that the particle Reynolds number is small. This extends an asymptotic model of inertial lift force previously developed…
Inertial focusing in curved microfluidic ducts exploits the interaction of drag force from the Dean flow with the inertial lift force to separate particles or cells laterally across the cross-section width according to their size.…
Small finite-size particles suspended in fluid flow through an enclosed curved duct can focus to points or periodic orbits in the two-dimensional duct cross-section. This particle focusing is due to a balance between inertial lift forces…
Turbulent plane-Couette flow suspended with finite-size spheroidal particles is studied using fully particle-resolved direct numerical simulations. The effects of particle aspect ratio on turbulent arguments and particle statistics are…
We have performed direct numerical simulation of the turbulent flow of a polymer solution in a square duct, with the FENE-P model used to simulate the presence of polymers. First, a simulation at a fixed moderate Reynolds number is…
Highly resolved simulations reveal the fundamental influence of a carrier fluid's flow dynamics on triboelectric powder charging. We found that particles transported through a square-shaped duct charge faster than in a channel flow caused…
Particles suspended in a fluid flow through a curved duct can focus to specific locations within the duct cross-section. This particle focusing is a result of a balance between two dominant forces acting on the particle: (i) the inertial…
