Recently, Shete et al. [Phys. Rev. Fluids 7, 024601 (2022)] explored the characteristics of passive scalars in the presence of a uniform mean gradient, mixed by stationary isotropic turbulence. They concluded that at high Reynolds and…
One of the most enigmatic science question concerning inertial particle transport by a turbulent boundary layer flow is the value of the turbulent Schmidt number as the ratio of particle diffusivity and turbulent eddy viscosity. Using…
Dissipative particle dynamics is a widely used mesoscale technique for the simulation of hydrodynamics (as well as immersed particles) utilizing coarse-grained molecular dynamics. While the method is capable of describing any fluid, the…
We solve the advection-diffusion equation for a stochastically stationary passive scalar $\theta$, in conjunction with forced 3D Navier-Stokes equations, using direct numerical simulations in periodic domains of various sizes, the largest…
We investigated the effects of Schmidt number on passive scalar transport in forced compressible turbulence. In the inertial-convective range the scalar spectrum followed the k^{-5/3} power law. For Sc >> 1, there appeared a k^{-1} power…
Classic turbulence models often struggle to accurately predict complex flows. Although data-driven techniques have addressed these shortcomings, most existing research has concentrated on two-dimensional (2D) cases. This study bridges this…
We describe the diffusion and random velocities of solid particles due to stochastic forcing by turbulent gas. We include the orbital dynamics of Keplerian disks, both in-plane epicycles and vertical oscillations. We obtain a new result for…
The vertical distribution of suspended sediment concentration (SSC) remains a subject of active research given its relevance to a plethora of problems in hydraulics, hydrology, ecology, and water quality control. Much of the classical…
We present direct numerical simulation results of turbulent open channel flow at bulk Reynolds numbers up to 12000, coupled with (passive) scalar transport at Schmidt numbers up to 200. Care is taken to capture the very large scale motions…
We perform a-priori validation tests of subgrid-scale (SGS) models for the turbulent transport of momentum, energy and passive scalars. To this end, we conduct two sets of high-resolution hydrodynamical simulations with a Lagrangian code:…
In this paper, we discuss the incorporation of dynamic subgrid scale (SGS) models in the lattice-Boltzmann method (LBM) for large-eddy simulation (LES) of turbulent flows. The use of a dynamic procedure, which involves sampling or…
We study the experimental properties of exchange flows in a stratified inclined duct (SID), which are simultaneously turbulent, strongly stratified by a mean vertical density gradient, driven by a mean vertical shear, and continuously…
The Stokes-Einstein relation for the self-diffusion coefficient of a spherical particle suspended in an incompressible fluid is an asymptotic result in the limit of large Schmidt number, that is, when momentum diffuses much faster than the…
Bounds on high-order derivative moments of a passive scalar are obtained for large values of the Schmidt number, $Sc$. The procedure is based on the approach pioneered by Batchelor for the viscous-convective range. The upper bounds for…
We use direct numerical simulations to compute turbulent transport coefficients for passive scalars in turbulent rotating flows. Effective diffusion coefficients in the directions parallel and perpendicular to the rotations axis are…
The stratified inclined duct (SID) flow provides a canonical model for sustained, buoyancy-driven exchange between two reservoirs of different density, and emerges as a new paradigm in geophysical fluid dynamics. Yet, the flow dynamics…
Turbulent concentric coaxial (annular) pipe flow is numerically investigated using a stochastic one-dimensional turbulence (ODT) model as a stand-alone tool. The dimensionally reduced ODT domain enables fully resolved numerical simulations…
We formulate a scaling theory for the long-time diffusive motion in a space occluded by a high density of moving obstacles in dimensions 1, 2 and 3. Our tracers diffuse anomalously over many decades in time, before reaching a diffusive…
Accurate and economical modeling of near-surface transport processes is a standing challenge for various engineering and atmospheric boundary-layer flows. In this paper, we address this challenge by utilizing a stochastic one-dimensional…
Streamwise and quasi-streamwise elongated structures have been shown to play a significant role in turbulent shear flows. We model the mean behavior of fully turbulent plane Couette flow using a streamwise constant projection of the Navier…
