We carry out direct numerical simulation combined with adhesive discrete element calculations to investigate collision-induced breakage of agglomerates in homogeneous isotropic turbulence. Based on extensive simulation runs, an adhesion…
Polymers in a turbulent flow are subject to intense strain, which can cause their scission and thereby limit the experimental study and application of phenomena such as turbulent drag reduction and elastic turbulence. In this paper, we…
We study the segregation of emulsions in decaying turbulence using direct numerical simulations (DNS) in combination with the volume of fluid method (VOF). To this end, we generate emulsions in forced homogeneous isotropic turbulence and…
The breakup of inertial, solid aggregates in an incompressible, homogeneous and isotropic three-dimensional turbulent flow is studied by means of a direct numerical simulation, and by a Lagrangian tracking of the aggregates at varying…
We carry out direct numerical simulation together with an adhesive discrete element method calculation (DNS-DEM) to investigate agglomeration of particles in homogeneous isotropic turbulence (HIT). We report an exponential-form scaling for…
The breakup of a spherical droplet in a decaying homogeneous isotropic turbulence is studied by solving the Cahn-Hilliard-Navier-Stokes equations, using the discrete unified gas kinetic scheme combined with the free-energy-based phase-field…
Recently, clustering of inertial particles in turbulence has been thoroughly analyzed for statistically homogeneous isotropic flows. Phenomenologically, spatial homogeneity of particles configurations is broken by the advection of a range…
Using Stokesian dynamics simulations, we examine the flow of a monodisperse, neutrally buoyant, homogeneous suspension of non-Brownian solid spheres in simple shear, starting from a large number of independent hard-sphere distributions and…
By characterising the hydrodynamic stresses generated by statistically homogeneous and isotropic turbulence in rigid aggregates, we estimate theoretically the rate of turbulent breakup of colloidal aggregates and the size distribution of…
The self-similarity of a passive scalar in homogeneous isotropic decaying turbulence is investigated by the method of line segments (M. Gauding et al., Physics of Fluids 27.9 (2015): 095102). The analysis is based on a highly resolved…
In sandstorms and thunderclouds, turbulence-induced collisions between solid particles and ice crystals lead to inevitable triboelectrification. The charge segregation is usually size-dependent, with small particles charged negatively and…
Breakup of small aggregates in fully developed turbulence is studied by means of direct numerical simulations in a series of typical bounded and unbounded flow configurations, such as a turbulent channel flow, a developing boundary layer…
In dilute turbulent particle-laden flows, such as atmospheric dispersion of pollutants or virus particles, the dynamics of tracer-like to low inertial particles are significantly altered by the fluctuating motion of the carrier fluid phase.…
A fundamental effect of fluid turbulence is turbulent mixing, which results in the stretching and wrinkling of scalar isosurfaces. Thus, the area of isosurfaces is of interest in understanding turbulence in general with specific…
Turbulent flows preferentially concentrate inertial particles depending on their stopping time or Stokes number, which can lead to significant spatial variations in the particle concentration. Cascade models are one way to describe this…
In this paper we numerically investigate the influence of dissipation during particle collisions in an homogeneous turbulent velocity field by coupling a discrete element method to a Lattice-Boltzmann simulation with spectral forcing. We…
We perform point-particle direct numerical simulations (PP-DNS) of particle-laden flow through a linear compressor cascade subjected to synthetic freestream turbulence. Monodisperse particles are advanced in a one-way coupled…
An efficient technique to simulate turbulent particle-laden flow at high mass loadings within the four-way coupled simulation regime is presented. The technique implements large eddy simulation, discrete phase simulation, a deterministic…
A parallel pseudospectral code for the direct numerical simulation (DNS) of isotropic turbulence has been developed. The code has been extensively benchmarked using established results from literature. The code has been used to conduct a…
We present direct numerical simulations (DNS) of particle deposition in a turbulent channel flow, incorporating a viscoelastic soft-sphere collision model with temperature-dependent van der Waals adhesion. Particle-wall contact is governed…
