Towards direct numerical simulations of low-Mach number turbulent reacting and two-phase flows using immersed boundaries

A Abdelsamie, G Fru, T Oster, F Dietzsch, G Janiga… - Computers & …, 2016 - Elsevier
Most reacting and two-phase flows of practical interest are turbulent but take place at low
Mach numbers or under incompressible conditions. In order to investigate the properties of …

Identification of a particle collision as a finite-time blowup in turbulence

S Lee, C Lee - Scientific reports, 2023 - nature.com
We propose an Eulerian approach to investigate the motion of particles in turbulence under
the assumption that the motion of particles remains smooth in space and time until a …

Gravity-driven clustering of inertial particles in turbulence

Y Park, C Lee - Physical Review E, 2014 - APS
We report a different kind of particle clustering caused purely by gravity, discovered in our
simulation of particle-laden turbulence. Clustering in a vertical strip pattern forms when …

Single-particle dispersion in compressible turbulence

Multifractality of fine bubbles in turbulence due to lift

I Fouxon, G Shim, S Lee, C Lee - Physical Review Fluids, 2018 - APS
We develop a theory of spatial distribution of fine bubbles in turbulence and confirm it
numerically. The bubbles are a few hundred microns in size and the considered value of the …

Inhomogeneous distribution of water droplets in cloud turbulence

I Fouxon, Y Park, R Harduf, C Lee - Physical Review E, 2015 - APS
We consider sedimentation of small particles in the turbulent flow where fluid accelerations
are much smaller than acceleration of gravity g. The particles are dragged by the flow by …

Effect of gravity-induced fluid inertia on the accumulation and dispersion of motile plankton settling weakly in turbulence

H Shim, C Lee - Physics of Fluids, 2022 - pubs.aip.org
