Dynamics of particle sedimentation in a vertical channel: Period-doubling bifurcation and chaotic state
The dynamics and interaction of two circular cylinders settling in an infinitely long narrow channel ~width equal to four times the cylinder diameter! is explained by direct computational analysis. The results show that at relatively low Reynolds numbers ~based on the average particle velocity and diameter!, the particles undergo complex transitions to reach a low-dimensional chaotic state repr...
متن کاملSedimentation of Oblate Ellipsoids at low and Moderate Reynolds numbers
In many applications to biophysics and environmental engineering, sedimentation of non-spherical particles for example: ellipsoids, is an important problem. In our work, we simulate the dynamics of oblate ellipsoids under gravity. We study the settling velocity and the average orientation of the ellipsoids as a function of volume fraction. We see that the settling velocity shows a local maximum...
متن کاملA circle swimmer at low Reynolds number.
Swimming in circles occurs in a variety of situations at low Reynolds number. Here we propose a simple model for a swimmer that undergoes circular motion, generalising the model of a linear swimmer proposed by Najafi and Golestanian (Phys. Rev. E 69, 062901 (2004)). Our model consists of three solid spheres arranged in a triangular configuration, joined by two links of time-dependent length. Fo...
متن کاملLow-Reynolds-number droplet motion in a square microfluidic channel
In this study, we investigate computationally the low-Reynolds-number droplet motion in a square micro-channel, a problem frequently encountered in microfluidic devices, enhanced oil recovery and coating processes. The droplet deformation and motion are determined via a three-dimensional spectral boundary element method for wall-bounded flows. The effects of the flow rate, viscosity ratio and d...
متن کاملDNS and LES of Scalar Transport in a Turbulent Plane Channel Flow at Low Reynolds Number
The paper reports on DNS and LES of plane channel flow at Reτ = 180 and compares these to a DNS with a higher order convection scheme. For LES different subgrid-scale models like the Smagorinsky, the Dynamic Smagorinsky and the Dynamic Mixed Model were used with the grid being locally refined in the near-wall region. The mixing of a passive scalar has been simulated with two convection schemes,...
