Abstract

We investigate the effect of a two-dimensional, incompressible, turbulent flow on soft granular particles and show the emergence of a crystalline phase due to the interplay of Stokesian drag and short-range interparticle interactions. We quantify this phase through the bond order parameter and local density fluctuations and find a sharp transition between the crystalline and noncrystalline phases as a function of the Stokes number. Furthermore, the nature of preferential concentration, characterized by the correlation dimension, is significantly different from that of particle-laden flows in the absence of repulsive potentials.
