Motion in stratified fluids

RV More, AM Ardekani - Annual Review of Fluid Mechanics, 2023 - annualreviews.org
Density stratification due to temperature or salinity variations greatly influences the flow
around and the sedimentation of objects such as particles, drops, bubbles, and small …

Particles, drops, and bubbles moving across sharp interfaces and stratified layers

J Magnaudet, MJ Mercier - Annual Review of Fluid Mechanics, 2020 - annualreviews.org
Rigid or deformable bodies moving through continuously stratified layers or across sharp
interfaces are involved in a wide variety of geophysical and engineering applications, with …

Hydrodynamic interaction of microswimmers near a wall

GJ Li, AM Ardekani - Physical Review E, 2014 - APS
The hydrodynamics of an archetypal low-Reynolds number swimmer, called “squirmer,”
near a wall has been numerically studied. For a single squirmer, depending on the …

Dynamics of particle migration in channel flow of viscoelastic fluids

G Li, GH McKinley, AM Ardekani - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2015 - cambridge.org
The migration of a sphere in the pressure-driven channel flow of a viscoelastic fluid is
studied numerically. The effects of inertia, elasticity, shear-thinning viscosity, secondary …

High propulsive performance by an oscillating foil in a stratified fluid

J Wang, P Kandel, J Deng - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2024 - cambridge.org
We investigate numerically the propulsion characteristics of an oscillating foil undergoing
coupled heave and pitch motion in a linearly density-stratified flow. A parameter space …

Sedimentation of spheroids in Newtonian fluids with spatially varying viscosity

V Anand, V Narsimhan - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2024 - cambridge.org
This paper examines the rigid body motion of a spheroid sedimenting in a Newtonian fluid
with a spatially varying viscosity field. The fluid is at zero Reynolds number, and the viscosity …

Pore-scale statistics of flow and transport through porous media

S Aramideh, PP Vlachos, AM Ardekani - Physical Review E, 2018 - APS
Flow in porous media is known to be largely affected by pore morphology. In this work, we
investigate the effects of pore geometry on the transport and spatial correlations of flow …

Motion of an inertial squirmer in a density stratified fluid

RV More, AM Ardekani - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2020 - cambridge.org
We investigate the self-propulsion of an inertial swimmer in a linearly density stratified fluid
using the archetypal squirmer model which self-propels by generating tangential surface …

Settling disks in a linearly stratified fluid

MJ Mercier, S Wang, J Péméja, P Ern… - Journal of Fluid …, 2020 - cambridge.org
We consider the unbounded settling dynamics of a circular disk of diameter becomes
smaller than some threshold value. Uncertainties in identifying the threshold value is …

Biogenic mixing induced by intermediate Reynolds number swimming in stratified fluids

S Wang, AM Ardekani - Scientific reports, 2015 - nature.com
We study fully resolved motion of interacting swimmers in density stratified fluids using an
archetypal swimming model called “squirmer”. The intermediate Reynolds number regime is …
