Clustering and collision of inertial particles in random velocity fields.
The influence of clustering on the collision rate of inertial particles in a smooth random velocity field, mimicking the smaller scales of a turbulent flow, is analyzed. For small values of the ratio between the relaxation time of the particle velocity and the characteristic time of the field, the effect of clusters is to make more energetic collisions less likely. The result is independent of ...
متن کاملAggregation of inertial particles in random flows.
We consider the trajectories of particles suspended in a randomly moving fluid. If the Lyapunov exponent of these trajectories is negative, the paths of these particles coalesce, so that particles aggregate. Here we give a detailed account of a method [B. Mehlig and M. Wilkinson, Phys. Rev. Lett. 92, 250602 (2004)] for calculating this exponent: it is expressed as the expectation value of a ran...
متن کاملSpatial and velocity statistics of inertial particles in turbulent flows
Spatial and velocity statistics of heavy point-like particles in incompressible, homogeneous, and isotropic three-dimensional turbulence is studied by means of direct numerical simulations at two values of the Taylor-scale Reynolds number Reλ ∼ 200 and Reλ ∼ 400, corresponding to resolutions of 512 and 2048 grid points, respectively. Particles Stokes number values range from St ≈ 0.2 to 70. Sta...

متن کاملAnisotropic clustering of inertial particles in homogeneous shear flow
Recently, clustering of inertial particles in turbulence has been thoroughly analyzed for statistically homogeneous isotropic flows. Phenomenologically, spatial homogeneity of particles configurations is broken by the advection of a range of eddies determined by the Stokes relaxation time of the particles which results in a multi-scale distribution of local concentrations and voids. Much less i...
