TLDR
In this article, a spectral element method was proposed for numerical solution of the Navier-Stokes equations, where the computational domain is broken into a series of elements, and the velocity in each element is represented as a highorder Lagrangian interpolant through Chebyshev collocation points.

Particles in turbulent separated flow over a bump: Effect of the Stokes number and lift force

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of the Stokes number and the lift force on the particle spatial distribution were analyzed in a particle-laden turbulent flow that separates due to a bump inside a channel, and the results showed that the effect of lift forces on particle concentration is dominant in regions of high spanwise vorticity, particularly at the walls and in the shear layer.

Computational and experimental study of a captive annular eddy

TL;DR: In this article, the main flow and the captive eddy between it and the walls are analyzed, and it is concluded that the main role of the eddy is to shape the flow with a rather small energy exchange.
