Behavior of heavy particles in isotropic turbulence.
The motion of heavy particles in isotropic turbulence is investigated using direct numerical simulation. The statistics related to the velocity and acceleration of heavy particles for a wide range of Stokes numbers, defined as the ratio of the particle response time to the Kolmogorov time scale of turbulence (St=tau_{p}/tau_{eta}) , are investigated. A particular emphasis is placed on the stati...
متن کاملAcceleration Statistics of Inertial Particles from High Resolution DNS Turbulence
We present results from recent direct numerical simulations of heavy particle transport in homogeneous, isotropic, fully developed turbulence, with grid resolution up to 512 and Rλ ≈ 185. By following the trajectories of millions of particles with different Stokes numbers, St ∈ [0.16 : 3.5], we are able to characterize in full detail the statistics of particle acceleration. We focus on the prob...
متن کاملAcceleration statistics of neutrally buoyant spherical particles in intense turbulence.
We measure acceleration statistics of neutrally buoyant spherical particles with a diameter 0.4 < d/eta < 27 in intense turbulence (400 < R(lambda) < 815). High speed cameras image polystyrene tracer particles in a flow between counterrotating disks. The measurements of acceleration variance clearly resolve the transition from the tracer like behavior of small particles to the much small...
متن کاملSweep-stick mechanism of heavy particle clustering in fluid turbulence.
It is proposed that the inertial range clustering of small heavy particles in fluid turbulence occurs as a result of the sweep-stick mechanism which causes inertial particles to cluster so as to mimic the clusters of points where the fluid acceleration is perpendicular to the direction of highest contraction between neighboring particles. Direct numerical simulations of inertial particles subje...

متن کاملStochastic Models of Lagrangian Acceleration of Fluid Particle in Developed Turbulence
Modeling statistical properties of motion of a Lagrangian particle advected by a high-Reynolds-number flow is of much practical interest and complement traditional studies of turbulence made in Eulerian framework. The strong and nonlocal character of Lagrangian particle coupling due to pressure effects makes the main obstacle to derive turbulence statistics from the three-dimensional Navier-Sto...
