Clustering, Fronts, and Heat Transfer in Turbulent Suspensions of Heavy Particles
Clustering, Fronts, and Heat Transfer in Turbulent Suspensions of Heavy Particles
Heavy inertial particles transported by a turbulent flow are shown to concentrate in the regions where an advected passive scalar, such as temperature, displays very strong frontlike discontinuities. This novel effect is responsible for extremely high levels of fluctuations for the passive field sampled by the particles that impacts the …
