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

The effects of particle inertia, particle shape, and fluid shear on particle rotation are
examined using direct numerical simulation of turbulent channel flow. Particles at the …

We consider the rotation of neutrally buoyant axisymmetric particles suspended in isotropic
turbulence. Using laboratory experiments as well as numerical and analytical calculations …

Hydrocyclone not only achieves centrifugal separation of solids and liquids but also purifies
oil-coated particles through rotational shear flow, resulting in high-speed particle rotation …

The translational and rotational dynamics of oblate spheroidal particles suspended in a
directly simulated turbulent channel flow have been examined. Inertial disk-like particles …

The key limitations of digital inline holography (DIH) for particle tracking applications are
poor longitudinal resolution, particle concentration limits, and case-specific processing. We …

A turbulent flow is maintained by an external supply of kinetic energy, which is eventually
dissipated into heat at steep velocity gradients. The scale at which energy is supplied greatly …

Disposal of waste catalysts has posed considerable threat to the environment and biological
health. It has been confirmed that the self-rotation of particles in a hydrocyclone can …

In this study, the rotation of small rigid fibers relative to the surrounding fluid in wall-bounded
turbulence is examined by means of direct numerical simulations coupled with Lagrangian …

Non-spherical particles are known to orient preferentially in near-wall turbulence, but rod-
like and disk-like particles align themselves differently relative to the mean vorticity direction …
