I Got Attacked by a Shark-Here’s How I Survived
My wife, Kay, looked quite miserable standing there as I said goodbye at 6:30 a.m. that Sunday morning in December 1963. She was expecting our first child, and the doctor had firmly told her not to go. Kay was experiencing complications, and travelling would have made her pregnancy riskier. I wish now that the doctor’s advice had applied to me, as well. Two hours later, however, I was standing on the cliff at Aldinga Beach, 55 kilometres south of our home in Adelaide, South Australia.

Verification of Eulerian-Eulerian and Eulerian-Lagrangian simulations for turbulent fluid-particle flows
We present a verification study of three simulation techniques for fluid–particle flows, including an Euler–Lagrange approach (EL) inspired by Jackson's seminal work on fluidized particles, a quadrature–based moment method based on the anisotropic Gaussian closure (AG), and the traditional two-fluid model. We perform simulations of two problems: particles in frozen homogeneous isotropic turbulence (HIT) and cluster-induced turbulence (CIT).
Euler-Euler anisotropic Gaussian mesoscale simulation of homogeneous cluster-induced gas-particle turbulence
An Euler-Euler anisotropic Gaussian approach (EE-AG) for simulating gas-particle flows, in which particle velocities are assumed to follow a multivariate anisotropic Gaussian distribution, is used to perform mesoscale simulations of homogeneous cluster-induced turbulence (CIT). A three-dimensional Gauss–Hermite quadrature formulation is used to calculate the kinetic flux for ten velocity moments in a finite-volume framework.
Turbulent Mixing in the Confined Swirling Flow of a Multi-Inlet Vortex Reactor
Turbulent mixing in the confined swirling flow of a multi-inlet vortex reactor (MIVR) was investigated using planar laser induced fluorescence (PLIF). The investigated Reynolds numbers based on the bulk inlet velocity ranged from 3290 to 8225, and the Schmidt number of the passive scalar was 1250. Measurements were taken in the MIVR at three different heights (¼, ½ and ¾ planes).
