Abstract: Four problems encountered in making transverse velocity measurements with an LDA are alignment of the optical system, velocity bias correction, avoidance of incomplete signal bias, and collecting ...

Abstract: Numerical experiments can be used to study heavy particle dispersion by tracking particles through a numerically generated instantaneous turbulent flow field. In this manner, data can be generated ...

Abstract: A method is presented to estimate the effects of a polydisperse particle size distribution on the measured turbulent dispersion of particles. In addition, the analysis provides a means to ...

Abstract: The analysis of gas-droplet flows is complicated by the need to account for the mass, momentum, and energy coupling between phases. The concept of regarding the droplet phase as a source of ...
