Numerical Simulations of Turbulent Gas-solid Flow in a Gradual Expansion [PDF]
Modeling efforts on turbulent gas-solid flows have mainly focused on studying particle-laden flows in channels and pipes. Despite its significance for industrial applications, the study of gas-solid flows in sudden or gradual expansions is less common in

Turbulence energetics in stably stratified geophysical flows: strong and weak mixing regimes
Traditionally, turbulence energetics is characterized by turbulent kinetic energy (TKE) and modelled using solely the TKE budget equation. In stable stratification, TKE is generated by the velocity shear and expended through viscous dissipation and work ...

Erosion of granular sediments by submerged impinging jets: Particle size effects and cohesion onset
Abstract This study investigates the erosion behavior and modeling of glass particle beds under impinging jet conditions, with a focus on particle size effects and the onset of cohesion. Ultrasonic profiling is implemented to scan and measure static crater profiles.

Turbulence Model Assessment in Compressible Flows around Complex Geometries with Unstructured Grids
One of the key factors in simulating realistic wall-bounded flows at high Reynolds numbers is the selection of an appropriate turbulence model for the steady Reynolds Averaged Navier−Stokes equations (RANS) equations.

Turbulence lifetimes: what we can learn from the physics of glasses
In this note, we critically discuss the issue of the possible finiteness of the turbulence lifetime in subcritical transition to turbulence in shear flows, which attracted a lot of interest recently.

Turbulent bubbly flow in pipe under gravity and microgravity conditions [PDF]
Experiments on vertical turbulent flow with millimetric bubbles, under three gravity conditions, upward, downward and microgravity flows (1g, -1g and 0g), have been performed to understand the influence of gravity upon the flow structure and the phase ...

Abstract Filamentous microorganisms exhibit complex morphologies that influence product formation and are affected by various bioprocess parameters. Consistent morphology is therefore essential for comparable results during scale‐up. This study investigates the scale‐up of Streptomyces species (Streptomyces spp.) cultivations from shake flasks to ...
