On the fully coupled dynamics of flexible fibres dispersed in modulated turbulence
@inproceedings{Olivieri2021OnTF, title={On the fully coupled dynamics of flexible fibres dispersed in modulated turbulence}, author={Stefano Olivieri and Andrea Mazzino and Marco E. Rosti}, year={2021} }
The present work investigates the mechanical behaviour of finite-size, elastic and inertial fibres freely moving in a homogeneous and isotropic turbulent flow at moderate Reynolds number. Four-way coupled, direct numerical simulations, based on a finite difference discretisation and the immersed boundary method, are performed to mutually couple the dynamics of fibres and fluid turbulence, allowing to account for the backreaction of the dispersed phase to the carrier flow. An extensive parametric study…

Small flexible fibers in a turbulent flow are found to be as straight as stiff rods most of the time, but they might bend and buckle when they tumble and experience a strong enough local compression.
