Simulation methods for particulate flows and concentrated suspensions

M Maxey - Annual Review of Fluid Mechanics, 2017 - annualreviews.org
Numerical simulations are extensively used to investigate the motion of suspended particles
in a fluid and their influence on the dynamics of the overall flow. Contexts range from the …

On the application of immersed boundary, fictitious domain and body-conformal mesh methods to many particle multiphase flows

S Haeri, JS Shrimpton - International Journal of Multiphase Flow, 2012 - Elsevier
In this review paper we introduce currently available methods based on the Navier–Stokes
equations for simulation of particulate flows which fully resolve the particles. The methods …

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 …

Collision modelling for the interface-resolved simulation of spherical particles in viscous fluids

T Kempe, J Fröhlich - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2012 - cambridge.org
The paper presents a model for particle–particle and particle–wall collisions during interface-
resolving numerical simulations of particle-laden flows. The accurate modelling of collisions …

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 …

Collective motion of microorganisms in a viscoelastic fluid

G Li, AM Ardekani - Physical review letters, 2016 - APS
We study the collective motion of a suspension of rodlike microswimmers in a two-
dimensional film of viscoelastic fluids. We find that the fluid elasticity has a small effect on a …

An immersed boundary method for rigid bodies

B Kallemov, A Bhalla, B Griffith, A Donev - Communications in Applied …, 2016 - msp.org
We develop an immersed boundary (IB) method for modeling flows around fixed or moving
rigid bodies that is suitable for a broad range of Reynolds numbers, including steady Stokes …

Hydrodynamic interaction of swimming organisms in an inertial regime

G Li, A Ostace, AM Ardekani - Physical Review E, 2016 - APS
We numerically investigate the hydrodynamic interaction of swimming organisms at small to
intermediate Reynolds number regimes, ie, Re∼ O (0.1–100), where inertial effects are …

Effect of solid boundaries on swimming dynamics of microorganisms in a viscoelastic fluid

GJ Li, A Karimi, AM Ardekani - Rheologica acta, 2014 - Springer
We numerically study the effect of solid boundaries on the swimming behavior of a motile
microorganism in viscoelastic media. Understanding the swimmer-wall hydrodynamic …

Modeling free surface flows in presence of an arbitrary moving object

I Mirzaii, M Passandideh-Fard - International Journal of Multiphase Flow, 2012 - Elsevier
In this study, a numerical algorithm is developed for simulating the interactions between a
liquid and a solid object in presence of a free-surface. The presented model is the fast …
