Anisotropic particles are common in many industrial and natural turbulent flows. When these
particles are small and neutrally buoyant, they follow Lagrangian trajectories while …

Papermaking is to a large extent a multiphase flow process in which the structure of the
material and many of the relevant properties of the final product are determined by the …

In this paper, the dispersion of rigid, highly elongated fibers in a turbulent channel flow is
investigated. Fibers are treated as prolate ellipsoidal particles which move according to their …

This paper contains a critical review of available methodology for dealing with the motion of
non-spherical particles at higher Reynolds numbers in the Eulerian–Lagrangian …

The dynamical behavior of tiny elongated particles in a directly simulated turbulent flow field
is investigated. The ellipsoidal particles are affected both by inertia and hydrodynamic forces …

This letter reports on the pronounced turbulence modulations and the accompanying drag
reduction observed in a two-way coupled simulation of particle-laden channel flow. The …

We study suspensions of oblate rigid particles in a viscous fluid for different values of the
particle volume fractions. Direct numerical simulations have been performed using a direct …

The dynamical behavior of almost neutrally buoyant finite-size rigid fibers or rods in turbulent
channel flow is studied by direct numerical simulations. The time evolution of the fiber …

We have performed high-fidelity simulations of turbulent open-channel flows over
submerged rigid canopies made of cylindrical filaments of fixed length corresponds to the …

Anisotropic fiber-reinforced composites are used in lightweight construction, which is of
great industrial relevance. During mold filling of fiber suspensions, the microstructural …
