Particle-laden turbulence: progress and perspectives

L Brandt, F Coletti - Annual Review of Fluid Mechanics, 2022 - annualreviews.org
This review is motivated by the fast progress in our understanding of the physics of particle-
laden turbulence in the last decade, partly due to the tremendous advances of measurement …

Turbulence in two-phase flows with macro-, micro-and nanoparticles: A review

AY Varaksin, SV Ryzhkov - Symmetry, 2022 - mdpi.com
Turbulent flows are nonstationary in nature. Since the turbulent fluctuations of most flow
parameters satisfy a symmetric Gaussian distribution, the turbulent characteristics have the …

Direct numerical simulation of particle-laden flow in an open channel at

W Gao, R Samtaney, DH Richter - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2023 - cambridge.org
We perform two-way coupled direct numerical simulation of particle-laden flow in an open
channel at a friction Reynolds number (). The spatial structures are investigated with …

Experimental investigation of the effects of particle near-wall motions on turbulence statistics in particle-laden flows

H Liu, Y Feng, X Zheng - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2022 - cambridge.org
Experiments on particle-free and particle-laden flows with the same incoming velocity were
conducted in a horizontal wind tunnel. Three cases of particle-laden flows with different …

The merger of co-rotating vortices in dusty flows

S Shuai, A Roy, MH Kasbaoui - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2024 - cambridge.org
We investigate the effect of particle inertia on the merger of co-rotating dusty vortex pairs at
semi-dilute concentrations. In a particle-free flow, the merger is triggered once the ratio of …

Two-way coupled turbulent particle-laden boundary layer combustion over a flat plate

G Chen, H Wang, K Luo, J Fan - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2022 - cambridge.org
In the present study, turbulent particle-laden boundary layer combustion over a flat plate is
investigated using direct numerical simulation (DNS). A two-way coupled Eulerian …

Mechanisms of drag reduction by semidilute inertial particles in turbulent channel flow

H Dave, MH Kasbaoui - Physical Review Fluids, 2023 - APS
We investigate the mechanisms by which inertial particles dispersed at semidilute conditions
cause significant drag-reduction in a turbulent channel flow at Re τ= 180. We consider a …

Neural stochastic differential equations for particle dispersion in large-eddy simulations of homogeneous isotropic turbulence

J Williams, U Wolfram, A Ozel - Physics of Fluids, 2022 - pubs.aip.org
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 …

Interface topology and evolution of particle patterns on deformable drops in turbulence

A Hajisharifi, C Marchioli, A Soldati - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2022 - cambridge.org
The capture of neutrally buoyant, sub-Kolmogorov particles at the interface of deformable
drops in turbulent flow and the subsequent evolution of particle surface distribution are …

The modulation of coherent structures by the near-wall motions of particles

Y Feng, H Liu, X Zheng - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2024 - cambridge.org
Particle–wall interaction generates strong particle near-wall motion, including collision
bounce and impact splashing. To distinguish the effect of particles and particle near-wall …
