Fully-resolved prolate spheroids in turbulent channel flows: A lattice Boltzmann study

Particles are present in many natural and industrial multiphase flows. In most practical cases, particle shape is not spherical, leading to additional difficulties for numerical studies. In this paper, DNS of turbulent channel flows with finite-size prolate spheroids is performed. The geometry inclu...
