• Dynamics of disk-like particles in turbulent vertical channel flow 

      Yuan, Wenjun; Andersson, Helge Ingolf; Zhao, Lihao; Challabotla, Niranjan Reddy; Deng, Jianqiang (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      The dynamical behavior of inertial disk-like particles in turbulent vertical channel flow is investigated by an Eulerian–Lagrangian point-particle approach. Gravity effects on distribution, translation, rotation and ...
    • Particle segregation in turbulent Couette-Poiseuille flow with vanishing wall shear 

      Yang, Kun; Zhao, Lihao; Andersson, Helge Ingolf (Journal article, 2017)
      Inertial particles dispersed in wall-bounded flows in pipes and channels are known to accumulate close to the walls. The segregation ability depends greatly on the inertia-selection effects of the near-wall quasi-coherent ...
    • Preferential particle concentration in wall-bounded turbulence with zero skin friction 

      Yang, Kun; Zhao, Lihao; Andersson, Helge Ingolf (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      Inertial particles dispersed in turbulence distribute themselves unevenly. Besides their tendency to segregate near walls, they also concentrate preferentially in wall-parallel planes. We explore the latter phenomenon in ...
