1. Transition in Particle-laden Flows
Abstract : This thesis presents the study of laminar to turbulent transition of particle laden flows. When a flow becomes turbulent, the drag increases one order of magnitude compared to a laminar flow, therefore, much research is devoted to understand and influence the transition. READ MORE

2. Laminar and turbulent particle laden flows : a numerical and experimental study
Abstract : Particle laden flows are widespread in nature and in industrial applications. Dust storms, geophysical flows, pharmaceutical processes, fluidized beds and blood flow are only a few examples. Both global and local properties of a particle laden flow may alter significantly in comparison to the corresponding single phase flow. READ MORE

3. Particle-laden Turbulent Wall-bounded Flows in Moderately Complex Geometries
Abstract : Wall-bounded turbulent dispersed multiphase flows occur in a variety of industrial, biological and environmental applications. The complex nature of the carrier and the particulate phase is elevated to a higher level when introducing geometrical complexities such as curved walls. READ MORE

4. Stability analysis of channel flow laden with small particles
Abstract : This thesis deals with the stability of particle laden flows. Both modal and non-modal linear analyses have been performed on two-way coupled particleladen flows, where particles are considered spherical, solid and either heavy or light. When heavy particles are considered, only Stokes drag is used as interaction term. READ MORE

5. Dynamics of particles in fluids: effects of correlations and interactions
Abstract : Particles suspended in turbulent fluid flows are common in Nature and in technological applications. In some cases, the relative dynamics of spherical particles may be of interest. One example is small rain droplets in turbulent clouds. The dynamics of nearby droplets is correlated because they experience a correlated airflow. READ MORE
