- Understanding droplet dynamics and their spatial distribution in turbulent flows is important for many applications. This research is significant because it formulates a new turbulent convective diffusion equation for the droplet number density, based on the modified Fully Lagrangian Approach (FLA), and uses it to study the effects of droplet inertia and turbulent mixing on the droplet number density distribution in a turbulent flow field. Here, the FLA for the dispersed phase was extended to account for the Hessian of transformation from Eulerian to Lagrangian variables. This research is a key outcome of three EPSRC projects (EP/K005758/1, EP/M002608/1, EP/R012024/1).
