We use an extended laser Doppler technique to track optically the velocity of individual particles in a high Reynolds number turbulent flow. The particle sizes are of the order of the Kolmogorov scale and the time resolution, 30 microseconds, resolves the fastest scales of the fluid motion. Particles are tracked for mean durations of the order of 10 Kolmogorov time scales. The fastest scales of the particle motion are resolved and the particle acceleration is measured. For neutrally buoyant particles, our measurement matches the performance of the silicon strip detector technique introduced at Cornell University cite{Voth,MordantCornell}. This reference dynamics is then compared to that of slightly heavier solid particles (density 1.4) and to air bubbles. We observe that the acceleration variance strongly depends on the particle density: bubbles experience higher accelerations than fluid particles, while heavier particles have lower accelerations. We find that the probability distribution functions of accelerations normalized to the variance are very close although the air bubbles have a much faster dynamics.

The collision rate of particles suspended in turbulent flow is critical to particle agglomeration and droplet coalescence. The collision kernel can be evaluated by the radial distribution function (RDF) and radial relative velocity (RV) between parti
cles at small separations $r$. Previously, the smallest $r$ was limited to roughly the Kolmogorov length $eta$ due to particle position uncertainty and image overlap. We report a new approach to measure RDF and RV near contact ($r/a: approx$ 2.07, $a$ particle radius) overcoming these limitations. Three-dimensional particle tracking velocimetry using four-pulse Shake-the-Box algorithm recorded short particle tracks with the interpolated midpoints registered as particle positions to avoid image overlap. This strategy further allows removal of mismatched tracks using their characteristic false RV. We measured RDF and RV in a one-meter-diameter isotropic turbulence chamber with Taylor Reynolds number $Re_lambda=324$ with particles of 12-16 $mu$m radius and Stokes number $approx$ 0.7. While at large $r$ the measured RV agrees with the literature, when $r<20eta$ the first moment of negative RV is 10 times higher than direct numerical simulations of non-interacting particles. Likewise, when $r>eta$, RDF scales as $r^{-0.39}$ reflecting RDF scaling for polydisperse particles in the literature , but when $rlessapproxeta$ RDF scales as $r^{-6}$, yielding 1000 times higher near-contact RDF than simulations. Such extreme clustering and relative velocity enhancement can be attributed to particle-particle interactions. Uncertainty analysis substantiates the observed trends. This first-ever simultaneous RDF and RV measurement at small separations provides a clear glimpse into the clustering and relative velocities of particles in turbulence near-contact.
Accessing and characterizing a flow impose a number of constraints on the employed measurement techniques; in particular optical methods require transparent fluids and windows in the vessel. Whereas one can adapt apparatus, fluid and methods in the l
ab to these constraints, this is hardly possible for industrial mixers. We present in this article a novel measurement technique which is suitable for opaque or granular flows: an instrumented particle, which continuously transmits the force/acceleration acting on it as it is advected in a flow. Its density is adjustable for a wide range of fluids and because of its small size and its wireless data transmission, the system can be used both in industrial and scientific mixers allowing a better understanding of the flow within. We demonstrate the capabilities and precision of the particle by comparing its transmitted acceleration to alternative measurements, in particular in the case of a turbulent von Karman flow. Our technique shows to be an efficient and fast tool to characterize flows.
3D-Particle Tracking (3D-PTV) and Phase Sensitive Constant Temperature Anemometry in pseudo-turbulence--i.e., flow solely driven by rising bubbles-- were performed to investigate bubble clustering and to obtain the mean bubble rise velocity, distribu
tions of bubble velocities, and energy spectra at dilute gas concentrations ($alpha leq2.2$%). To characterize the clustering the pair correlation function $G(r,theta)$ was calculated. The deformable bubbles with equivalent bubble diameter $d_b=4-5$ mm were found to cluster within a radial distance of a few bubble radii with a preferred vertical orientation. This vertical alignment was present at both small and large scales. For small distances also some horizontal clustering was found. The large number of data-points and the non intrusiveness of PTV allowed to obtain well-converged Probability Density Functions (PDFs) of the bubble velocity. The PDFs had a non-Gaussian form for all velocity components and intermittency effects could be observed. The energy spectrum of the liquid velocity fluctuations decayed with a power law of -3.2, different from the $approx -5/3$ found for homogeneous isotropic turbulence, but close to the prediction -3 by cite{lance} for pseudo-turbulence.
The radial relative velocity between particles suspended in turbulent flow plays a critical role in droplet collision and growth. We present a simple and accurate approach to RV measurement in isotropic turbulence - planar 4-frame particle tracking v
elocimetry - using routine PIV hardware. This study demonstrates the feasibility of accurately measuring RV using routine hardware and verifies, for the first time, the path-history and inertial filtering effects on particle-pair RV at large particle separations experimentally.
We present in this article a novel Lagrangian measurement technique: an instrumented particle which continuously transmits the force/acceleration acting on it as it is advected in a flow. We develop signal processing methods to extract information on
the flow from the acceleration signal transmitted by the particle. Notably, we are able to characterize the force acting on the particle and to identify the presence of a permanent large-scale vortex structure. Our technique provides a fast, robust and efficient tool to characterize flows, and it is particularly suited to obtain Lagrangian statistics along long trajectories or in cases where optical measurement techniques are not or hardly applicable.
