Abstract Domain decomposition (DD) is a powerful approach to numerically solve partial
differential equations, and it has become popular and indispensable in simulations of fluid …

Within the context of heavy particles suspended in a turbulent airflow, we study the effects of
gravity on acceleration statistics and radial relative velocity (RRV) of inertial particles. The …

We investigate the dynamics of inertial particles in homogeneous isotropic turbulence, under
one-way momentum coupling, using a new computational approach that incorporates the …

The study of turbulent collision of cloud droplets requires simultaneous considerations of the
transport by background air turbulence (ie, geometric collision rate) and influence of droplet …

The collision–coalescence of cloud droplets in atmospheric turbulent flow is analyzed
numerically using direct numerical simulation coupled to a Lagrangian particle tracking. The …

Transport of particle beams in plasmas is widely employed in fundamental research,
industry, and medicine. Due to the high inertia of ion beams, their transport in plasmas is …

Collision statistics of same-size aerodynamically interacting droplets in homogeneous
isotropic turbulence is examined via hybrid direct numerical simulations combined with …

This chapter covers the microscopic multiscale physics of collision and coagulation
processes, mathematical descriptions of collision and coagulation kernels of spherical …

In this paper, the computational performance of a novel parallel code for simulating collision–
coalescence of aerodynamically interacting droplets in turbulent flows is examined …

In this dissertation we investigate the effects of turbulence, inertia and gravitational settling
on the dynamics of colliding cloud droplets. This study is motivated by the open question in …
