A map for heavy inertial particles in fluid flows

Abstract: Abstract. We introduce a map which reproduces qualitatively many fundamental properties of the dynamics of heavy particles in fluid flows. These include a uniform rate of decrease of volume in phase space, a slow-manifold effective dynamics when the single parameter s (analogous of the Stokes number) approaches zero, the possibility of fold caustics in the "velocity field", and a minimum, as a function of s, of the Lyapunov (Kaplan-Yorke) dimension of the attractor where particles accumulate.

“…In the function findKYDim in Lagrange2D, we use estimates of the Lyapunov exponents generated by the FTLE calculation in (2), in order to produce a timescale-dependent scalar field D t KY (x, y). In fluid flows, the Kaplan-Yorke dimension quantifies the tendency of particles to cluster within subregions of the fluid's attractor: wherever the Kaplan-Yorke dimension equals the dimensionality of the dependent variables (d = 2 here), then there is no particular tendency of trajectories to localize [14,15]. In contrast, in subregions where the Kaplan-Yorke dimension is much less than the dimension of the underlying dynamics, particles will tend to cluster and form filamentary structures.…”

“…Using the so-called snapshot attractor approach enables exploitation of a time-scale separation, thus allowing the authors identifying a short-term exponential convergence and a long-term power law behavior. A description of the transport of inertial particles is also what Vilela and Oliveira [34] are concerned with. For inertial particles denser than the carrying flow (aerosols) the authors propose an effective description of the particle advection dynamics by the so-called Stokes map.…”
