Ben-Gurion University of the Negev Laboratory of Turbulent Multiphase Flows Head – Professor TovElperin People • Prof. Anrew Fominykh • Prof. Nathan Kleeorin • Prof. Alexander Eidelman • Prof. Igor Rogachevskii • Dr. Boris Krasovitov
New Effects and Models • Turbulent thermal diffusion • Turbulent barodiffusion • Small-scale particle clustering and clustering instability • Reduction of turbulent diffusion by chemical reactions and phase transitions • Generation of large scale vorticity • General model of gas absorption of slowly and highly soluble gases by single droplets and clusters SelectedResearchProjects • Formation of aerosol and gaseous inhomogenities in industrial and atmospheric turbulent flows • Formation of large-scale semi-organized structures in turbulent convection • Large-scale and small-scale dynamics on turbulent mixing and fluid interfaces • Investigation of mechanisms of in-cloud and below-cloud scavenging of atmospheric aerosol and gaseous pollutants • Hydrodynamics and transport in stably and unstably stratified atmospheric boundary layers • Small-scale clustering of inertial particles in temperature stratified turbulence
Research • During the past 10 years 87 papers were published in the most prestigious scientific journals • Numerous presentations at the International Scientific Conferences • The method of slurry drying rate calculation for engineering applications developed by T. Elperin and B. Krasovitov was included in “Multiphase Flow Handbook”, Ed. by C. T. Crowe, Taylor & Francis, New York, 2006 Teaching activities • Completed • 8 Ph. D. students • 4 M. Sc. Students • Continue their studies • 4 graduate students • In the framework of a special joint program with Ilan Ramon Center in BGU every year 10-12 pupils from the secondary schools (from Netivot, Dimona, Arad, Beer-Sheva etc.) conduct scientific investigations in the Laboratory. • Two of these investigations won International Competition “First step towards Nobel Prize” • Adas Tsaban (הדס צבןת, נתיבות)– 2009 (Gold medal) • Eli Godinetskii (אלי גודינצקי, באר-שבע)- 2010 (Gold medal)
