The interaction of droplet dynamics and turbulence cascade

Dynamics of droplet fragmentation in turbulence is described by the Kolmogorov-Hinze theory, but at higher concentrations common in most flows a quantitative theory is required. The authors use direct numerical simulations of turbulent multiphase flows finding that larger droplets break up absorbing...
