• Alignment and rotation of spheroids in unsteady vortex flow 

      Jayaram, Rohith; Jie, Yucheng; Gillissen, Jurriaan J.J.; Zhao, Lihao; Andersson, Helge Ingolf (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Preferential orientations of inertialess nonspherical particles are examined through three qualitatively different stages of a time-evolving Taylor–Green vortex flow. Despite an unexpected decorrelation between the vorticity ...
    • Clustering of inertial spheres in evolving Taylor-Green vortex flow 

      Jayaram, Rohith; Jie, Yucheng; Zhao, Lihao; Andersson, Helge Ingolf (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Clustering of inertial spheres in a statistically unsteady flow field is believed to be different from particle clustering observed in statistically steady flows. The continuously evolving three-dimensional Taylor–Green ...
    • Preferential orientation of tracer spheroids in turbulent channel flow 

      Jie, Yucheng; Zhao, Lihao; Xu, Chunxiao; Andersson, Helge Ingolf (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      Axis-symmetric spheroids, such as rod-like and disk-like particles, have been found to orient preferentially in near-wall turbulence by both experiment and numerical simulation. In current work we examined the orientation ...
