A numerical study of stably stratified flows past spheres at Reynolds numbers $Re=200$ and $Re=300$ is reported. In these flow regimes, a neutrally stratified laminar flow induces distinctly different near-wake features. However, the flow…
An SPIV experiment using two orthogonal planes simultaneously was performed in the LML boundary layer facility to specifically measure all of the derivative moments needed to estimate the dissipation rate of the Turbulence Kinetic Energy.…
Hypothesis: Measuring rotational and translational Brownian motion of single spherical particles reveals dissipations due to the interaction between the particle and the environment. Experiments: In this article, we show experiments where…
We use well-resolved numerical simulations to study the combined effects of buoyancy, pressure-driven shear and rotation on the melt rate and morphology of a layer of pure solid overlying its liquid phase in three dimensions at a Rayleigh…
We study the cross-stream inertial migration of a torque-free neutrally buoyant spheroid, of an arbitrary aspect ratio $\kappa$, in wall-bounded plane Poiseuille flow for small particle Reynolds numbers\,($Re_p\ll1$) and confinement…
A combined experimental and numerical study of the boundary layer in a 4:1 aspect-ratio Rayleigh-B\'{e}nard cell over a four-decade range of Rayleigh numbers has been undertaken aimed at gaining a better insight into the character of the…
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…
Using high-fidelity numerical simulations based on a lattice Boltzmann framework, the advection-enhanced transport of a passive scalar from a prolate spheroid in simple shear flow has been thoroughly investigated across various parameters,…
The velocity fluctuations in a spherical shell arising from sinusoidal perturbations of a Keplerian shear flow with a free amplitude parameter \epsilon are studied numerically by means of fully 3D nonlinear simulations. The investigations…
We experimentally investigate the dynamics of a sphere rolling down a granular slope by varying the initial velocity, slope angle, and sphere density. The results show that the sphere rolls down with constant deceleration while sinking into…
Near-wall turbulent velocities in turbulent channel flows are decomposed into small-scale and large-scale components at $y^+<100$ by improving the predictive inner-outer model of Baars et al. [Phys. Rev. Fluids 1, 054406 (2016)], where…
The rheology of a granular shear flow is studied in a quasi-2d rotating cylinder. Measurements are carried out near the midpoint along the length of the surface flowing layer where the flow is steady and non-accelerating. Streakline…
The flow within an oscillatory boundary layer, which approximates the flow generated by propagating sea waves of small amplitude close to the bottom, is simulated numerically by integrating Navier-Stokes and continuity equations. The bottom…
We present experimental evidence that the superstructures in turbulent boundary layers comprise of smaller, geometrically self-similar coherent motions. The evidence comes from identifying and analyzing instantaneous superstructures from…
The spherical Couette system consists of two differentially rotating concentric spheres with a fluid filled in between. We study a regime where the outer sphere is rotating rapidly enough so that the Coriolis force is important and the…
The settling process and wall impact of large spherical particles in a stagnant, highly viscous fluid has been observed by means of high-speed shadow imaging. The particles included in this study vary in size and material properties: steel,…
In this study, we experimentally examine the behavior of a free-falling rigid sphere penetrating a quiescent liquid pool. Observations of the sphere trajectory in time are made using two orthogonally placed high-speed cameras, yielding the…
We study the 6-dimensional dynamics -- position and orientation -- of a large sphere advected by a turbulent flow. The movement of the sphere is recorded with 2 high-speed cameras. Its orientation is tracked using a novel, efficient…
Three different porous substrates (with different pore sizes, s, and permeabilities, K) are used to examine their effect on the structure of boundary layer flow over them. The flow is characterised with single-point hot-wire measurements as…
We study numerically the inertial migration of a single rigid sphere and an oblate spheroid in straight square and rectangular ducts. A highly accurate interface-resolved numerical algorithm is employed to analyse the entire migration…
