Tom et al.\ (J.\ Fluid Mech.\ 947, A7, 2022) investigated the impact of two-way coupling (2WC) on particle settling in turbulence. For the limited parameter choices explored, it was found that 2WC substantially enhances particle settling…
In a seminal article, \citet[J. Fluid Mech., 174:441-465]{maxey87} presented a theoretical analysis showing that enhanced particle settling speeds in turbulence occur through the preferential sweeping mechanism, which depends on the…
Heavy particles in turbulent flows have been shown to accumulate in regions of high strain rate or low vorticity, a process otherwise known as preferential concentration. This can be observed in geophysical flows, and is inferred to occur…
The significance of small-scale forcing of particles on the carrier two-dimensional turbulent flow has been shown to influence the spectral scaling properties of the carrier fluid. We investigate possible consequences of such two-way…
Particulate flows have been largely studied under the simplifying assumptions of one-way coupling regime where the disperse phase do not react-back on the carrier fluid. In the context of turbulent flows, many non trivial phenomena such as…
In recent years, Darcy scale transport in porous media was characterized to be Fickian or non-Fickian due to the homogeneity or heterogeneity of the porous medium conductivity layout. Yet, evidence shows that preferential flows that funnel…
We present a new numerical model to simulate settling trajectories of discretized individual or a mixture of particles of different geometrical shapes in a quiescent fluid and their flow trajectories in a flowing fluid. Simulations unveiled…
Heavy particles suspended in a turbulent flow settle faster than in a still fluid. This effect stems from a preferential sampling of the regions where the fluid flows downward and is quantified here as a function of the level of turbulence,…
Preferential concentration is thought to play a key role in promoting particle growth, which is crucial to processes such as warm rain formation in clouds, planet formation, and industrial sprays. In this work, we investigate preferential…
The dynamics of entrainment of finite-size heavy particles in a turbulent open channel flow over a smooth surface are analyzed. Three types of simulations, namely with freely moving, rotation-constrained, and spanwise-motion-constrained…
Direct numerical simulations two-way coupled with inertial particles are used to investigate the particle distribution and two-way coupling effect of low-inertia ($St_{LSM}=0.0625$, $St_{VLSM}=0.009$) and high-inertia ($St_{LSM}=0.475$,…
The dynamics of dense finite-size particles in vertical channel flows of Newtonian and viscoelastic carrier fluids are examined using particle resolved simulations. Comparison to neutrally buoyant particles in the same configuration…
Direct numerical simulations of turbulent suspension flows are carried out with the Force-Coupling Method in plane Couette and pressure-driven channel configurations. Dilute to moderately concentrated suspensions of neutrally buoyant…
Inhalers spray over 100 million drug particles into the mouth, where a significant portion of the drug may deposit. Understanding how the complex interplay between particle and solid phases influence deposition is crucial for optimising…
We investigate the flow of spherical, bulk granular particles down an inclined plane mixed with small-sized spherical lubricant particles using discrete element method simulations. Predefined cohesive interaction is implemented between…
Wake-induced lift is a key mechanism governing the initial destabilization of bubbles rising in a chain (Atasi et al., 2023). Moore's wake model predicts limited interfacial vorticity and a relatively slender, spatially confined wake for…
Water scarcity has required constant water recycling, leading to a decline in water quality, further exacerbated by high concentrations of fine particles that reduce the efficiency of solid-liquid separation systems. Inclined settlers offer…
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…
Flow of particles of two different species through a narrow channel with solely two discrete spatial positions is analyzed with respect to the species' capability to cooperate or compete for transport. In contrast to mean field approaches,…
The impact of turbulent fluctuations on the forces exerted by a fluid on a towed spherical particle is investigated by means of high-resolution direct numerical simulations. The measurements are carried out using a novel scheme to integrate…
