International Journal of Multiphase Flow, 140, Article 103652. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijmultiphaseflow.2021.103652

This study considers complex ice particles falling in the atmosphere: predicting the drag of such particles is important for developing of climate models parameterizations. A Delayed-Detached Eddy Simulation model is developed to predict the drag coe... Read More about Drag coefficient prediction of complex-shaped snow particles falling in air beyond the Stokes regime.

Results are presented from a comprehensive experimental campaign studying the aerodynamics of 3D-printed analogues of ice particles. Measurements of the drag coefficient of the analogues were acquired by using a novel experimental approach to digital...

© 2017 Cambridge University Press. The interaction between oscillating-grid turbulence and a solid, impermeable boundary (positioned below, and aligned parallel to, the grid) is studied experimentally. Instantaneous velocity measurements, obtained us... Read More about Experimental study of oscillating-grid turbulence interacting with a solid boundary.
