Abstract
We study the clustering of inertial particles using a periodic kinematic simulation. Particles clustering is observed for different pairs of Stokes number and Froude number and different spectral power laws (1.4 6 p 6 2.1). The main focus is to identify and then quantify the effect of p on the clustering attractor - by attractor we mean the set of points in the physical space where the particles settle when time tends to infinity. It is observed that spectral power laws can have a dramatic effect on the attractor shape. In particular, we observed a new attractor type which was not present in previous studies for Kolmogorov spectra (p = 5/3).
