ABSTRACT In a gap between two concentric cylinders, we discover that the small heavy particle settling velocity (Vs) is greater than its associated terminal (Vt) in featureless turbulence generated by counter-rotating inner and outer cylinders simultaneously. The peak enhancement of Vs occurs at St × (Vt/u′) ∼ 1, where u′ are, respectively, r.m.s. fluctuation Stokes number defined as ratio resp...
