We investigate the dynamics of very large particles freely advected in a turbulent von Karman flow. Contrary to other experiments for which the particle dynamics is generally studied near the geometrical center of the flow, we track the particles in the whole experiment volume. We observe a strong influence of the mean structure of the flow that generates an unexpected large-scale sampling effect for the larger particles studied; contrary to neutrally buoyant particles of smaller yet finite sizes that exhibit no preferential concentration in homogeneous and isotropic turbulence (Fiabane et al., Phys. Rev. E 86(3), 2012). We find that particles whose diameter approaches the flow integral length scale explore the von Karman flow non-uniformly, with a higher probability to move in the vicinity of two tori situated near the poloidal neutral lines. This preferential sampling is quite robust with respect to changes of any varied parameters: Reynolds number, particle density and particle surface roughness.
Individual magnetic wax spheres with specific gravities of 1.006, 1.054 and 1.152 were released from rest on a smooth wall in water at friction Reynolds numbers, Re_τ=680 and 1320 (d^+ = 58 and 122 viscous units, respectively). Three-dimensional tracking was conducted to understand the effect of turbulence and wall friction on sphere motions. Spheres subjected to sufficient mean shear initially lifted off of the wall before descending back towards it. These lifting spheres translated with the fluid above the wall, undergoing saltation or resuspension, with minimal rotation about any axis. By c…
Homogeneity and isotropy in a laboratory turbulent flow
我们提出了一种新的设计,搅拌槽,迫使由两个平行的平面阵列的随机致动的合成射流。这种布置在高雷诺数和低平均流量下产生湍流。最重要的是,它表现出一个区域的3D均匀各向同性湍流,是显着大于积分的长度尺度。这些功能是必要的,使实验室测量湍流悬浮液。我们使用定量成像,以确认各向同性在大,小,和中等规模的检查一-和两-点统计在坦克中心。然后,我们重复这些相同的测量,以确认在罐中心测量的值在大的均匀区域内是恒定的。在垂直于对称平面的方向上,我们的测量表明,均匀区域延伸至少两倍的积分长度尺度$L=9.5$ cm。在平行于对称平面的方向上,该区域至少是整体长度尺度的四倍,并且在该方向上的范围仅受罐的尺寸限制。在均匀的各向同性区域内,我们测量的湍流动能为$6.07 \times 10^{-4} $ m $^2$ s $^{-2}$,耗散率为$4.65 \times 10^{-5} $ m $^2$ s $^{-3}$,泰勒尺度雷诺数为$R_λ=334$。该水箱的大均匀区域,结合其高雷诺数和非常低的平均流量,提供了最好的近似均匀各向同性湍流实现在实验室流动的日期。这些特性使搅拌槽成为研究湍流和湍流悬浮液基本动力学的最佳设备。
In recent works we developed a model of balanced gas flow where the momentum equation possesses an additional mean field forcing term, which originates from the hard sphere interaction potential between the gas particles. We demonstrated that, in our model, a turbulent gas flow with a Kolmogorov kinetic energy spectrum develops from an otherwise laminar initial jet. In the current work, we investigate the possibility of a similar turbulent flow developing in a large scale two-dimensional setting, where a strong external acceleration compresses the gas into a relatively thin slab along the thir…
Flows within porous media play important roles in many scientific and industrial systems. However, the case wherein such flows become turbulent has not been completely understood, particularly, from a mathematical viewpoint. In this study, the $k-\varepsilon$ model (the variable $k$ denotes the turbulent kinetic energy per unit mass and $\varepsilon$ the dissipation rate for the turbulent kinetic energy), which has been widely used for the usual turbulent flow in a clear fluid, was applied to a turbulent flow through porous media. If a homogeneous, averaged flow and homogeneous isotropic turbu…

We propose an experimental study on the gravitational settling velocity of dense, sub-Kolmogorov inertial particles under different background turbulent flows. We report Phase Doppler Particle Analyzer measurements in a low-speed wind tunnel uniformly seeded with micrometer scale water droplets. Turbulence is generated with three different grids (two consisting on different active-grid protocols while the third is a regular static grid), allowing us to cover a very wide range of turbulence conditions in terms of Taylor-scale based Reynolds numbers ($Re_λ\in [30-520]$), Rouse numbers ($Ro \in […

The breakup of inertial, solid aggregates in an incompressible, homogeneous and isotropic three-dimensional turbulent flow is studied by means of a direct numerical simulation, and by a Lagrangian tracking of the aggregates at varying Stokes number and fluid-to-particle density ratio. Within the point-particle approximation of the Maxey-Riley-Gatignol equations of motion, we analyse the statistics of the time series of shear and drag stresses, which are here both deemed as responsible for particle breakup. We observe that, regardless of the Stokes number, the shear stresses produced by the tur…
