Abstract

In this paper we will use Direct Numerical Simulations of turbulence and Lagrangian Particle Tracking to elucidate the physics of the motion of inertial particles in different turbulence instances and we will provide insight for modelling and simulating turbulent dispersed flows important in industrial, environmental and geophysical applications.
