Scalar mixing in homogeneous isotropic turbulence: A numerical study
We investigate the dynamics of turbulent dispersion by means of direct numerical simulations of a passive tracer released in a homogeneous isotropic turbulent flow. We focus on the link between the probability density function (PDF) of the passive scalar

Effects of hydrogen addition and turbulence on ignition and meso-scale flames of propane mixtures
This study has investigated experimentally the effects of hydrogen addition and turbulence on the ignition and the flame-kernel development characteristics in isotropic and homogeneous turbulence for propane mixtures.

Energy transfer and vortex structures: visualizing the incompressible turbulent energy cascade
The transfer of kinetic energy from large to small scales is a hallmark of turbulent flows. Yet, a precise mechanistic description of this transfer, which is expected to occur via an energy cascade, is still missing.

Cloud droplet diffusional growth in homogeneous isotropic turbulence: bin microphysics versus Lagrangian super-droplet simulations [PDF]
The increase in the spectral width of an initially monodisperse population of cloud droplets in homogeneous isotropic turbulence is investigated by applying a finite-difference fluid flow model combined with either Eulerian bin microphysics or a ...

Probability Density Functions in Homogeneous and Isotropic Magneto-Hydrodynamic Turbulence
We derive a hierarchy of evolution equations for multi-point probability density functions in magneto-hydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence. We discuss the relation to the moment hierarchy in MHD turbulence formulated by Chandrasekhar (S. Chandrasekhar, Proc. R.

Homogeneous isotropic turbulence in four spatial dimensions [PDF]
Direct numerical simulation is performed for the forced Navier–Stokes equation in four spatial dimensions. Well equilibrated, long time runs at sufficient resolution were obtained to reliably measure spectral quantities, the velocity derivative skewness,

On the thixotropic effect of turbulence
As a follow-up research of the work on the natural viscosity of turbulence of Huang et al. [Journal of Turbulence (2003)], here we investigate the thixotropic effect of a turbulent Newtonian fluid on the basis of the ensemble-averaged Navier–Stokes ...

Area of scalar isosurfaces in homogeneous isotropic turbulence as a function of Reynolds and Schmidt numbers [PDF]
A fundamental effect of fluid turbulence is turbulent mixing, which results in the stretching and wrinkling of scalar isosurfaces. Thus, the area of isosurfaces is of interest in understanding turbulence in general, with specific applications in, for ...

Clustering of vertically constrained passive particles in homogeneous, isotropic turbulence [PDF]
We analyze the dynamics of small particles vertically confined, by means of a linear restoring force, to move within a horizontal fluid slab in a three-dimensional (3D) homogeneous isotropic turbulent velocity field. The model that we introduce and study
