Interface-resolved simulations of dense particulate flows: Studies on sedimentation and slurry pipe flow

Dense suspension flows, both in the natural environment and industrial settings, are complex phenomena with significant implications. From rivers shaping landscapes to industrial processes involving slurry transport, these flows hold a prominent position in numerous sectors. This thesis delves into a specific facet of these intricate flows:...

Interaction between a large bubble and turbulence

Bubble dynamics in turbulent flows has been extensively studied using the point-bubble approximation. But when the carrier flow varies on length scales smaller than the bubble size, this approximation is no longer appropriate and one needs to resolve all the scales present in the two-phase flow. 3D Direct Numerical Simulations of turbulent...
