Semiflexible particles in isotropic turbulence

The Lagrangian dynamics of semiflexible particles in homogeneous and isotropic turbulent flows is studied by means of analytically solvable stochastic models and direct numerical simulations. The stationary statistics of the bending angle shows a strong dependence on the dimension of the flow. In tw...
