Turbulence effect on disk settling dynamics

A Tinklenberg, M Guala, F Coletti - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2024 - cambridge.org
Turbulence can have a strong effect on the fall speed of snowflakes and ice crystals. In this
experimental study, the behaviour of thin disks falling in homogeneous turbulence is …

Relative dispersion in free-surface turbulence

Y Li, Y Wang, Y Qi, F Coletti - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2024 - cambridge.org
We report on an experimental study in which Lagrangian tracking is applied to millions of
microscopic particles floating on the free surface of turbulent water. We leverage a large jet …

Droplet dynamics and spray mechanism of air-assisted intermittent atomization under different injection timings

Y Hui, H Wu, Z Zhang - Physics of Fluids, 2024 - pubs.aip.org
The droplet dynamics and spray mechanism of air-assisted intermittent atomization were
experimentally investigated, with a particular focus on the effect of injection timing (duration …

[HTML][HTML] Two-phase air-water measurements in fully-rough free-surface flows

J Hu, H Chanson - Experimental Thermal and Fluid Science, 2024 - Elsevier
Fully-rough turbulent free-surface flows are encountered in a variety of natural and man-
made applications. When strong turbulence interacts with the water surface, the intense air …

Investigating the parametric dependence of the impact of two-way coupling on inertial particle settling in turbulence

S Bhattacharjee, J Tom, M Carbone… - Journal of Fluid …, 2024 - cambridge.org
Tom et al.(J. Fluid Mech., vol. 947, 2022, p. A7) investigated the impact of two-way coupling
(2WC) on particle settling velocities in turbulence. For the limited parameter choices …

Experimental Investigation of Disks Settling in Quiescent and Turbulent Air

A Tinklenberg - 2024 - search.proquest.com
We experimentally investigate the settling of millimeter-sized disks in quiescent air and in
homogeneous turbulence, as turbulence can have a strong effect on the fall speed of …
