Inertial particle trap** in viscous streaming

K Chong, SD Kelly, S Smith, JD Eldredge - Physics of Fluids, 2013 - pubs.aip.org
The motion of an inertial particle in a viscous streaming flow of Reynolds number order 10 is
investigated theoretically and numerically. The streaming flow created by a circular cylinder …

A sphere in a uniformly rotating or shearing flow

JJ Bluemink, D Lohse, A Prosperetti… - Journal of fluid …, 2008 - cambridge.org
It is known that, in a linear shear flow, fluid inertia causes a particle to spin more slowly than
the surrounding fluid. The present experiments performed with a sphere with fixed centre …

Numerical analysis of the angular motion of a neutrally buoyant spheroid in shear flow at small Reynolds numbers

T Rosén, J Einarsson, A Nordmark, CK Aidun… - Physical Review E, 2015 - APS
We numerically analyze the rotation of a neutrally buoyant spheroid in a shear flow at small
shear Reynolds number. Using direct numerical stability analysis of the coupled nonlinear …

Drag and lift forces on particles in a rotating flow

JJ Bluemink, D Lohse, A Prosperetti… - Journal of fluid …, 2010 - cambridge.org
A freely rotating sphere in a solid-body rotating flow is experimentally investigated. When the
sphere is buoyant, it reaches an equilibrium position from which drag and lift coefficients are …

Particle and bubble dynamics in a cree** flow

YA Stepanyants, GH Yeoh - European Journal of Mechanics-B/Fluids, 2009 - Elsevier
Dynamics of a solid particle and non-deformable gaseous bubble in viscous fluid are
studied analytically and numerically within the framework of cree** flow regime (flow at …

Resonance properties of forced oscillations of particles and gaseous bubbles in a viscous fluid at small Reynolds numbers

HK Hassan, YA Stepanyants - Physics of Fluids, 2017 - pubs.aip.org
We consider small oscillations of micro-particles and gaseous bubbles in a viscous fluid
around equilibrium states under the action of a sinusoidal external force. Exact solutions to …

Oscillatory counter-centrifugation

S Xu, A Nadim - Physics of Fluids, 2016 - pubs.aip.org
In ordinary centrifugation, a suspended particle that is heavier than the displaced fluid
migrates away from the rotation axis when the fluid-filled container rotates steadily about that …
