Dynamics of non Spherical Particles in Fluid Turbulence

Meetings and events
Dynamics of non-spherical particles in fluid flow are encountered both in nature and in industrial applications, e.g. airborne solid particles or aerosols, carbon nanotubes, micro-organisms like phytoplankton, sediment-laden flows and wood-fibre suspensions. The scope of the colloquium includes both studies and modeling of the dynamical behaviour of non-spherical particles as well as the modulation of the turbulence field brought about by the particles. The focus will be on generic aspects and physics of particulate turbulent flows, be it computer simulations, laboratory or field measurements, and theoretical studies. Among the topics to be included are particle dynamics in free and wall-bounded turbulence, fluid-particle interactions, collision modelling, agglomeration, advances in measurement and simulation techniques, and rheological modelling.
