Scalings and decay of fractal-generated turbulence
TL;DR: In this article, a total of 21 planar fractal grids pertaining to three different fractal families have been used in two different wind tunnels to generate turbulence The resulting turbulent flows have been studied using hot wire anemometry.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dissipation and decay of fractal-generated turbulence
TL;DR: In this article, a fractal-generated turbulence has been observed to decay in the decaying region of the fractal square grid, where the function f is the same for all the grids tried here.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this article, the authors assess progress in understanding the effect of turbulence on the condensational and collisional growth of droplets and the effects of entrainment and mixing on the droplet spectrum, concluding that it is those studies which include such fundamental characteristics of clouds as droplet sedimentation and latent heating that are most relevant to clouds.
Journal ArticleDOI
Turbulence without Richardson-Kolmogorov Cascade
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors study turbulence generated by low-blockage space-filling fractal square grids and show that the small scales are not universal beyond small corrections caused by intermittency, finite Reynolds number and anisotropy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Two-particle dispersion in turbulentlike flows
TL;DR: In this paper, the conditions for two-particle dispersion to be local in a turbulent-like flow and the dependence of the Richardson constant on the topology of individual realizations of the flow were investigated.
