Buckling of a flush-mounted plate in simple shear flow
The buckling of an elastic plate with arbitrary shape flush-mounted on a rigid wall and deforming under the action of a uniform tangential load due to an overpassing simple shear flow is considered. Working under the auspices of the theory of elastic instability of plates governed by the linear von Kármán equation, an eigenvalue problem is formulated for the buckled state resulting in a fourth-...
متن کاملDo transient gravity waves in a shear flow break?
The propagation of transient gravity waves in a shear flow towards their critical levels is examined using a ray tracing approximation and a higher-degree (quasi-optic) approximation. Because of its transient forcing, the amplitude of transient waves decays to zero in the neighbourhood of the critical region so that it is not clear whether transient gravity waves will reach the convective insta...
متن کاملStrength Deterioration of Nonfractal Particle Aggregates in Simple Shear Flow.
The restructuring of a nonfractal particle aggregate in simple shear flow was simulated by a Stokesian dynamics approach. We studied the deformation and the resultant strength change of aggregates by the surrounding flow under the condition that the cohesive strength of an aggregate is comparable to the fluid stress. In particular, we focused on how the aggregate deteriorates because of the flu...
متن کاملSimulations of droplet coalescence in simple shear flow.
Simulating droplet coalescence is challenging because small-scale (tens of nanometers) phenomena determine the behavior of much larger (micrometer- to millimeter-scale) droplets. In general, liquid droplets colliding in a liquid medium coalesce when the capillary number is less than a critical value. We present simulations of droplet collisions and coalescence in simple shear flow using the fre...
متن کاملTension of red blood cell membrane in simple shear flow.
When a red blood cell (RBC) is subjected to an external flow, it is deformed by the hydrodynamic forces acting on its membrane. The resulting elastic tensions in the membrane play a key role in mechanotransduction and govern its rupture in the case of hemolysis. In this study, we analyze the motion and deformation of an RBC in a simple shear flow and the resulting elastic tensions on the membra...
