Clustering Of Inertial Particles In A Turbulent Von Karman Flow

Von Karman Flow Pdf Vortices Fluid Dynamics We analyzed formation of small scale inhomogeneities of particle spatial distribution (particle clustering) in a turbulent flow. Clouds of inertial particles released in a turbulent flow experience deformation. by analytical characterizing of this deformation, a relationship is provided for the clustering of inertial particles that is applicable to a wide range of stokes numbers.

Concentration Of Inertial Particles In Turbulent Channel Flow For The We analyzed formation of small scale inhomogeneities of particle spatial distribution (particle clustering) in a turbulent flow. The pattern and dynamics of clustering are investigated using the volume change of voronoi tesselation in time to analyse the divergence and convergence of the particles. The goal of the present work is to bring detailed insights into the clustering and motion of heavy, inertial particles in wall turbulence, in the regime of moderate mass loading. In this paper, we use direct numerical simulation (dns) to study the preferential concentration of inertial particles by using the voronoi diagram, which includes the full effect of particle collision coagulation.

Various approaches have been adopted to relate clustering to the background flow and stokes number. experimental studies [4, 6–9] and numerical simulations [2, 10–16] have shown that stokes numbers of order unity based on the kolmogorov time scale are associated with the strongest clustering regime. We contrast our measurements with former observations in wind tunnel turbulent flows and numerical simulations, and discuss if the observed differences arise from inherent properties of the vk flow. This is consistent with inertial particles being centrifugally flung out of regions of high streamline curvature near velocity stagnation points. we would expect the centrifugal effect around velocity stagnation points to exist in real high reynolds number turbulence as it does in ks.
