We study experimentally the spatial distribution, settling and interaction of sub-Kolmogorov
inertial particles with homogeneous turbulence. Utilizing a zero-mean-flow air turbulence …

In Part 1 of this study (Ireland et al., J. Fluid Mech., vol. 796, 2016, pp. 617–658), we
analysed the motion of inertial particles in isotropic turbulence in the absence of gravity …

Despite the widely acknowledged significance of turbulence-driven clustering, a clear
topological definition of particle cluster in turbulent dispersed multiphase flows has been …

We report on optical field measurements of snow settling in atmospheric turbulence at based
on the Kolmogorov time scale. The still-air terminal velocities estimated for the resulting …

We study the case of inertial particles heated by thermal radiation while settling by gravity
through a turbulent transparent gas. We consider dilute and optically thin regimes in which …

The effect of turbulence on snow precipitation is not incorporated into present weather
forecasting models. Here we show evidence that turbulence is in fact a key influence on both …

Clusters play a critical role in the hydrodynamics of gas–solid flow. In this work, the probe
method, the DBSCAN-based method, and the Voronoï-based method are used to identify …

The settling velocity of inertial particles falling in homogeneous turbulence is investigated by
making use of direct numerical simulation (DNS) at moderate Reynolds number that include …

The heating of particles in a dilute suspension, for instance by radiation, chemical reactions
or radioactivity, leads to local temperature fluctuations in the fluid due to the non-uniformity …

We propose finite-time measures to compute the divergence, the curl and the velocity
gradient tensor of the point particle velocity for two-and three-dimensional moving particle …
