Collins", "Hui Meng" ], "categories": [ "physics.flu-dyn" ], "abstract": "The radial relative velocity between particles suspended in turbulent flow plays a critical role in droplet collision and growth. We present a simple and accurate approach to RV measurement in isotropic turbulence - planar 4-frame particle tracking velocimetry - using routine PIV hardware. This study demonstrates the feasibility of accurately measuring RV using routine hardware and verifies, for the first time, the path-history and inertial filtering effects on particle-pair RV at large particle separations experimentally.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2017-12-20T14:54:46.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "particle-pair relative velocity measurement", "particle tracking velocimetry", "isotropic turbulence", "high-reynolds-number homogeneous", "turbulent flow plays" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
