Abstract
The statistical properties of heavy particle trajectories in high Reynolds numbers turbulent flows are analyzed. Dimensional analysis assuming Kolmogorov scaling is compared with the result of numerical simulation using a synthetic turbulence advecting field. The non-Markovian nature of the fluid velocity statistics along the solid particletrajectories is put into evidence,and its relevance in the derivation of Lagrangian transport models is discussed.File in questo prodotto:
