Abstract: The microrotation viscosity is an essential fluid property in micropolar fluid dynamics. By considering a dilute suspension of inertial spherical pointparticles in an otherwise Newtonian fluid, an explicit analytical ...

Abstract: Revisiting the fluctuating vorticity field in the centerplane of a turbulent channel flow, we show that the vorticity is distinctly anisotropic at low Reynolds numbers (Re). This result is in contrast with some earlier ...
