The relative dispersion of pairs of inertial particles in incompressible, homogeneous, and isotropic turbulence is studied by means of direct numerical simulations at two values of the Taylor-scale Reynolds number $Re_{\lambda} \sim 200$…
We investigate Lagrangian relative dispersion in direct numerical simulation of two-dimensional inverse cascade turbulence. The analysis is performed by using both standard fixed time statistics and an exit time approach. Our results are in…
Kinematic Simulations of turbulent pair diffusion in planar turbulence with a -5/3 energy spectrum reproduce the results of the laboratory measurements of Jullien Phys. Rev. Lett. 82, 2872 (1999), in particular the stretched exponential…
We present results from a numerical study of particle dispersion in the weakly nonlinear regime of Rayleigh-B\'enard convection of a fluid with Prandtl number around unity, where bi-stability between ideal straight convection rolls and weak…
The Lagrangian statistics of relative dispersion in fully developed turbulence is numerically investigated. A scaling range spanning many decades is achieved by generating a synthetic velocity field with prescribed Eulerian statistical…
The dispersion of Lagrangian particle pairs is a fundamental process in turbulence, with implications for mixing, transport, and the statistical properties of particles in geophysical and environmental flows. While classical theories…
The statistics of Lagrangian pair dispersion in a homogeneous isotropic flow is investigated by means of direct numerical simulations. The focus is on deviations from Richardson eddy-diffusivity model and in particular on the strong…
The phenomenology of turbulent relative dispersion is revisited. A heuristic scenario is proposed, in which pairs of tracers undergo a succession of independent ballistic separations during time intervals whose lengths fluctuate. This…
We present a generalization of turbulent pair dispersion to large initial separations ($\eta < r_0 < L$), by introducing a new time scale, $\tau_{v_0}$, that reflects the persistence of initial conditions at time $\tau=0$. Results of 3D…
Results from Direct Numerical Simulations of particle relative dispersion in three dimensional homogeneous and isotropic turbulence at Reynolds number $Re_\lambda \sim 300$ are presented. We study point-like passive tracers and heavy…
We present a numerical study of two-particle dispersion from point-sources in 3D incompressible Homogeneous and Isotropic turbulence, at Reynolds number Re \simeq 300. Tracer particles are emitted in bunches from localized sources smaller…
Countless processes in nature and industry, from rain droplet nucleation to plankton interaction in the ocean, are intimately related to turbulent fluctuations of local concentrations of advected matter. These fluctuations can be described…
The relative dispersion process in two-dimensional free convection turbulence is investigated by direct numerical simulation. In the inertial range, the growth of relative separation, $r$, is expected as $<r^2(t)>\propto t^5$ according to…
Turbulent relative dispersion is studied theoretically with a focus on the evolution of probability distribution of the relative separation of two passive particles. A finite separation speed and a finite correlation of relative velocity,…
We report new measurements of single particle dispersion in turbulent two-dimensional (2D) flows. Laboratory experiments in electromagnetically driven and Faraday wave driven turbulence reveal a transition from weakly dispersing…
We solve an inverse problem for fluid particle pair-statistics: we show that a time sequence of probability density functions (PDF's) of separations can be exactly reproduced by solving the diffusion equation with a suitable time-dependent…
Lagrangian pair dispersion provides insights into mixing in turbulent flows. By direct numerical simulations (DNS) we show that the statistics of pair dispersion in the randomly forced two-dimensional Burgers equation, which is a typical…
Due to large scale flow inhomogeneities and the effects of temperature, turbulence small-scale structure in thermal convection is still an active field of investigation, especially considering sophisticated Lagrangian statistics. Here we…
The pair separation model of Goto and Vassilicos (S Goto and J C Vassilicos, 2004, New J.Phys., 6, p.65) is revisited and placed on a sound mathematical foundation. A DNS of two dimensional homogeneous isotropic turbulence with an inverse…
DNS and laboratory experiments show that the spatial distribution of straining stagnation points in homogeneous isotropic 3D turbulence has a fractal structure with dimension D_s = 2. In Kinematic Simulations the time exponent gamma in…
