Clustering and chaotic motion of heavy inertial particles in an isolated non-axisymmetric vortex
We investigate the dynamics of heavy inertial particles in a flow field due to an isolated, non-
axisymmetric vortex. For our study, we consider a canonical elliptical vortex-the Kirchhoff …

Viscosity-modulated clustering of heated bidispersed particles in a turbulent gas
Clustering of externally and evenly heated particles is enhanced by the increased viscosity
of heated fluid in the vicinity of these clusters–a phenomenon known as viscous capturing …

Irregular dependence on Stokes number, and nonergodic transport, of heavy inertial particles in steady laminar flows
Small heavy particles in a fluid flow respond to the flow on a timescale proportional to their
inertia or Stokes number St. Their behavior has been thought to be gradually modified as St …
