      Conference lecture
      Open Access
      Turbulence affects the dynamics of atmospheric processes by enhancing the transport of mass, heat, humidity and pollutants. The global objective of our work is to analyze some turbulent descriptors which reflect the mixing ...

      Article
      Open Access
      Mixing generated by gravitational acceleration and the role of local turbulence measured through multifractal methods is examined in numerical experiments of Rayleigh-Taylor and Richtmyer-Meshkov driven front occurring ...

      Redondo Apraiz, José Manuel; Tellez Alvarez, Jackson David; Sanchez, Jesus M.; Lopez Gonzalez-Nieto, Pilar (2016)
      Conference report
      Open Access
      Diffusion and scaling of the velocity and vorticity in a thermoelectric driven heating and cooling experimental device is presented in order to map the different patterns and transitions between two and three dimensional ...

    • Multiscaling properties on sequences of turbulent plumes images 

      Lopez Gonzalez-Nieto, Pilar; Tarquis Alfonso, Ana Maria; Matulka, Anna Magdalena; Skadden, Benjamin; Redondo Apraiz, José Manuel (2017-12-01)
      Article
      Open Access
      A multifractal analysis on a finite-range-scale of the plume concentration images at different experimental conditions (the height of the source Ho), where the measure is the grey value of the image (from 0 to 255), was ...

    • On the entrainment coefficient in a forced plume: quantitative effects of source parameter 

      Matulka, Anna Magdalena; Lopez Gonzalez-Nieto, Pilar; Redondo Apraiz, José Manuel; Tarquis Alfonso, Ana Maria (University of Thechnology and Agriculture Nicholas Copernicus University, 2014-02-24)
      Article
      Open Access
      The behavior of a forced plume is mainly controlled by the source buoyancy and momentum fluxes and the efficiency of turbulent mixing between the plume and the ambient fluid (stratified or not). The interaction between the ...

    • Percolation experiments in complex fractal media 

      Redondo Apraiz, José Manuel; Tarquis, Ana Maria; Cherubini, Claudia; Lopez Gonzalez-Nieto, Pilar; Vila, Teresa (2013)
