Coagulation and fragmentation dynamics of inertial particles (2009)

Zahnow, Jens C., Vilela, Rafael D., Feudel, Ulrike, Tél, Tamás

Inertial particles suspended in many natural and industrial flows undergo coagulation upon collisions and fragmentation if their size becomes too large or if they experience large shear. Here we...

Aggregation and fragmentation dynamics of inertial particles in chaotic flows (2008)

Zahnow, Jens C., Vilela, Rafael D., Feudel, Ulrike, Tel, Tamas

Inertial particles advected in chaotic flows often accumulate in strange attractors. While moving in these fractal sets they usually approach each other and collide. Here we consider inertial...

Can aerosols be trapped in open flows? (2007)

Vilela, Rafael D., Motter, Adilson E.

The fate of aerosols in open flows is relevant in a variety of physical contexts. Previous results are consistent with the assumption that such finite-size particles always escape in open chaotic...
