Research

Note: my lab wiki is updated much more often, take a look: http://web.eng.tau.ac.il/~alexlib

Research interests:

• Two phase (solid-liquid) flows with large, inertial solid particles
• Turbulent entrainment under an oscillating grid
• Homogeneous, isotropic turbulent flow of dilute polymer solutions
• Turbulent kinetic energy production in dilute polymer solution turbulent flows
• Experimental Lagrangian approach to homogeneous isotropic turbulence – material elements, vorticity dynamics
• Transfer of turbulent kinetic energy between the turbulent velocities and the mean flow in Rayleigh Benard convection cell

Other interests (software, experimental methods)

• XPIV – Multi-plane, stereoscopic PIV technique
• Proper Orthogonal Decomposition of vorticity fields
• PIV and InfraRed Imaging in a flume
• Characterization of turbulent flow in a flume with surfactants using PIV
