contents The forcing of particles in turbulent environments influences dynamical properties pertinent to many fundamental applications involving particle-flow interactions. Current study explores the determination of forcing for one-way coupled passive particles, under the assumption that the ambient velocity fields are known. When measurements regarding particle locations are available but sparse, direct evaluation of the forcing is intractable. Nevertheless, the forcing for finite-size particles can be determined using adjoint-based data assimilation. This inverse problem is formulated with the framework of optimization, where the cost function is defined as the difference between the measured and predicted particle locations. The gradient of the cost function, with respect to the forcing can be calculated from the adjoint dynamics. When measurements are subject to Gaussian noise, samples within the probability distribution of the forcing can be drawn using Hamiltonian Monte Carlo. The algorithm is tested in the Arnold-Beltrami-Childress flow as well as the homogeneous isotropic turbulence. Results demonstrate that the forcing can only be determined accurately for particle Reynolds number between 1 and 5, where the majority of Reynolds number history along the particle trajectory falls in.
