Physics of Transport in Fluids: 3 research groups

• • • Vortex Dynamics & Turbulence (WDY)

(Profs Herman Clercx, GertJan van Heijst, Federico Toschi)

Mesoscopic Transport Phenomena (MTP)

(Prof Anton Darhuber)

Transport in Permeable Media (TPM)

(Prof Olaf Adan)

Building Cascade

Research themes at WDY

• Droplets in 3D turbulent flows • Transport and mixing in 2D turbulent flows • Vortex dynamics • Viscous mixing • Physics of the atmosphere  Combination of theoretical , experimental numerical and work (tailor made to the student’s interests).

3D turbulence

• order  chaos • L.F. Richardson (1925) ‘Big Whirls’:

“Big whirls have little whirls, which feed on their velocity.

Little whirls have lesser whirls, and so on to viscosity”

• Variety of applications in geophysical and industrial situations

Example project: Decay and breakup of wake vortices due to external turbulence movie

Example project: Electromagnetically forced 2D turbulence

Vortex dynamics

• Closely related to 2D and 3D turbulence • Many geophysical applications • Laboratory experiments in rotating/stratified fluids • High-resolution numerical simulations

Physics of the atmosphere

• Close collaboration with KNMI • Many possibilities for external assignments and graduation projects
