Abstract
Aqueous flows containing clay in suspension are ubiquitous in natural environments and play a pivotal role in many processes. Using a novel approach, we experimentally quantified the effect of low clay concentrations in water-clay flows under nearly isotropic turbulence. The results demonstrate the significant impact of clay on the multiscale dynamics of turbulence even at low clay concentrations, including the turbulent kinetic energy, the mean dissipation rate, the Taylor microscale, and the inertial subrange of the velocity spectrum.
