A turbulent duct flow laden with small heavy inertial particles (Re τ≈ 570, St+≈ 50, d p+≈
0.3, St≈ 12, and dp/η≈ 0.17) is studied computationally and experimentally. We examine …

The extraction of statistical information from bubbly flow experiments is crucial for numerical
studies. Knowledge regarding probability distributions is particularly relevant in cases where …

Radiation absorption by preferentially concentrated particles in a turbulent square duct flow
is studied experimentally. The particle-laden flow is exposed to near-infrared radiation, and …

Separate and joint droplets, clusters, and voids characteristics of sprays injected in a
turbulent co-flow are investigated experimentally. Simultaneous Mie scattering and …

Direct radiation transmission in turbulent flows laden with heavy particles plays a
fundamental role in systems such as clouds and particle solar receivers. Owing to their …

Particle-based solar receivers pose an interesting engineering challenge because of the
coupled interactions between particle motion in a turbulent flow, radiation transmission and …

The cost of tracking Lagrangian particles in a domain discretized on an unstructured grid
can become prohibitively expensive as the number of particles or elements grows. A major …

Radiation absorption by disperse solid particles in a turbulent square duct flow was studied
experimentally for different particle loadings. The fully-developed flow of air at a Reynolds …

Preferential concentration is encountered in a wide range of particle-laden flows in which
inertial particles are transported by turbulence. The response of the particles to the carrier …

Turbulence has important effects on both the average and instantaneous particle
concentration fields. Dispersion describes the mean square displacement of particle …
