Abstract
  • Surface transport of inertial particles is investigated by means of the perturbtive approach introduced by Maxey (J. Fluid Mech. vol 174 pag 441 (1987)), which is valid when the deflection introduced on the particle trajectories can be considered small. We consider a class of compressible random velocity fields, mimicking the chaotich behavior of nonlinearly-interacting surface standing waves. The effect of recirculation is modelled by an oscillatory component in the Eulerian time correlation profile. The main issue we address here is on whether fluid velocity fluctuations, in particular the effect of recirculation, may produce nontrivial corrections to the streaming particle velocity. Our result is that a small (large) degree of recirculation is associated with a decrease (increase) of streaming with respect to a quiescent fluid. The presence of this effect is confirmed numerically, away from the perturbative limit. Our approach also allows us to calculate the explicit expression for the eddy diffusivity, and to compare both the efficiency of diffusive and ballistic transport, and the different anisotropic character of dispersion induced by compressibility.
