Falling clouds of particles in vortical flows
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 10 December 2020
Abstract
The coupling between particle–particle and particle–fluid interactions is examined by studying the sedimentation of clouds of spheres in a model cellular flow at a small but finite Reynolds number. The model flow consists of counter-rotating vortices and is aimed at capturing key features of the vortical effects on particles. The dynamics of clouds settling in this vortical flow is investigated through a comparison between experiments and point-particle simulations.
