Effect of long-range Coulomb repulsion on adhesive particle agglomeration in homogeneous isotropic turbulence
We conduct numerical investigations on the early-stage agglomeration of identically
charged microparticles in homogeneous isotropic turbulence. The turbulent flow field is …

Flow structures govern particle collisions in turbulence
The role of the spatial structure of a turbulent flow in enhancing particle collision rates in
suspensions is an open question. We show and quantify, as a function of particle inertia, the …

Waltz of tiny droplets and the flow they live in
S Ravichandran, R Govindarajan - Physical Review Fluids, 2022 - APS
This article describes the dynamics of small inertial particles centrifuging out of a single
vortex. It shows the importance of caustics formation in the vicinity of a single vortex: both for …

Optimization of DNS code and visualization of entrainment and mixing phenomena at cloud edges
B Kumar, M Rehme, N Suresh, N Cherukuru… - Parallel Computing, 2021 - Elsevier
Entrainment and mixing processes occur during the entire life of a cloud. These processes
change the droplet size distribution, which determines rain formation and radiative …
