Selected Research ProjectsFormation of aerosol and gaseous inhomogenities in industrial and atmospheric turbulent flowsFormation of large-scale semi-organized structures in turbulent convectionLarge-scale and small-scale dynamics on turbulent mixing and fluid interfacesInvestigation of mechanisms of in-cloud and below-cloud scavenging of atmospheric aerosol and gaseous pollutantsHydrodynamics and transport in stably and unstably stratified atmospheric boundary layersSmall-scale clustering of inertial particles in temperature stratified turbulence

New Effects and ModelsTurbulent thermal diffusionTurbulent barodiffusionSmall-scale particle clustering and clustering instabilityReduction of turbulent diffusion by chemical reactions and phase transitionsGeneration of large scale vorticityGeneral model of gas absorption of slowly and highly soluble gases by single droplets and clusters

Research

During the past 10 years 87 papers were published in the most prestigious scientific journalsNumerous presentations at the International Scientific ConferencesThe method of slurry drying rate calculation for engineering applications developed by T. Elperin and B. Krasovitov was included in “Multiphase Flow Handbook”, Ed. by C. T. Crowe, Taylor & Francis, New York, 2006

Teaching activities

Completed– 8 Ph. D. students– 4 M. Sc. Students

Continue their studies– 4 graduate students

In the framework of a special joint program with Ilan Ramon Center in BGU every year 10-12 pupils from the secondary schools (from Netivot, Dimona, Arad, Beer-Sheva etc.) conduct scientific investigations in the Laboratory.

Two of these investigations won International Competition “First step towards Nobel Prize”
