Dynamics of suspended sediment transport: A Direct Numerical Simulation study

The dynamics of suspended sediment transport in horizontal open channel flow is analysed using point-particle one-way coupling Direct Numerical Simulations (DNS), with a virtual wall as a simple particle resuspension model. In sediment transport, the bed-load is dominated by the inter-particle interactions, but the suspended sediments are...

Direct numerical simulation of deformable bubbles in wall-bounded shear flows

We present a method for fully-resolved simulations of bubbly flows using a front-tracking/front-capturing technique. The method is a modification of a marker-and-cell method developed previously for free-surface flows. The basic approach is somehow similar to the front-tracking method of Tryggvason: the continuity and Navier-Stokes equations are...
