A full-F, isothermal, electromagnetic, gyro-fluid model is used to simulate plasma turbulence in a COMPASS-sized, diverted tokamak. A parameter scan covering three orders of magnitude of plasma resistivity and two values for the ion to…
We present an experimental study on the settling velocity of dense sub-Kolmogorov particles in active-grid-generated turbulence in a wind tunnel. Using phase Doppler interferometry, we observe that the modifications of the settling velocity…
We study the effect of turbulence on a sedimenting layer of particles by means of direct numerical simulations. A Lagrangian model in which particles are considered as tracers with an additional downward settling velocity is integrated…
The dynamics of small-scale structures in free-surface turbulence is crucial to large-scale phenomena in natural and industrial environments. Here we conduct experiments on the quasi-flat free surface of a zero-mean-flow turbulent water…
We study streamwise turbulence intensity definitions using smooth- and rough-wall pipe flow measurements made in the Princeton Superpipe. Scaling of turbulence intensity with the bulk (and friction) Reynolds number is provided for the…
Inhomogeneous refractive index fields lead to errors in optical flow velocity measurements. Former respective studies are mostly in quasi two-dimensional flows, and attribute the measurement errors to spatial gradients in the refractive…
Turbulent flows of viscoplastic fluids at high Reynolds numbers have been investigated recently with direct numerical simulations (DNS) but experimental results have been limited. For this reason, we carry out an experimental study of fully…
Understanding the dynamics of material objects advected by turbulent flows is a long standing question in fluid dynamics. In this perspective article we focus on the characterization of the statistical properties of non-interacting…
Direct Numerical Simulations of turbulent convection in a large aspect-ratio box are carried out in the range of Rayleigh number $7 \times 10^4 \le Ra \le 2 \times 10^6$ at Prandtl number Pr=0.71. A strong correlation between the vertical…
Turbulent plane-Couette flow suspended with finite-size spheroidal particles is studied using fully particle-resolved direct numerical simulations. The effects of particle aspect ratio on turbulent arguments and particle statistics are…
A four component decomposition of the local instantaneous velocity is proposed. It brings out more readily the terms in the Navier-Stokes equations associated with different events and fluid structures of turbulent flows than the classic…
The streamwise and transverse velocities are measured simultaneously in isotropic grid turbulence at relatively high Reynolds numbers, Re(lambda) = 110-330. Using a conditional averaging technique, we extract typical intermittency patterns,…
Traditionally, trends of universal turbulence statistics are presented versus R-lambda, which is the Reynolds number based on Taylor's scale, lambda, and the root-mean-squared (rms) velocity component, u'. Taylor's scale and u', and hence…
We report results from the first systematic Lagrangian experimental investigation in the regime of very light (air bubbles in water) and large particles (D/{\eta} >> 1) in turbulence. Using a traversing camera setup and particle tracking,…
The present experimental study addresses the flow of a Yield Stress Fluid with some elasticity (Carbopol gel) in a square duct. The behaviour of two fluids with lower and higher yield stress is investigated at multiple Reynolds numbers…
The verification of whether small-scale turbulence is isotropic remains a grand challenge. The difficulty arises because the presence of small-scale anisotropy is tied to the dissipation tensor, whose components require the full…
We combine a DEM simulation with a stochastic process to model the movement of spherical particles in a turbulent channel flow. With this model we investigate the mixing properties of two species of particles flowing through the channel. We…
For a single timestep, a spectral solver is known to be more accurate than its finite-difference counterpart. However, as we show in this paper, turbulence simulations using the two methods have nearly the same accuracy. In this paper, we…
Velocity increments over a distance r and turbulent energy dissipation on a box of size r are well described by the multifractal models of fully developed turbulence. These quantities and models however, do not involve time-correlations and…
An analytical framework for turbulent channel flow is developed based on the Alexeev hydrodynamic equations, focusing on the coupled behavior of streamwise and transverse velocity components. The mean streamwise velocity is represented as a…
