Engineering particle trajectories in microfluidic flows using particle shape.
Recent advances in microfluidic technologies have created a demand for techniques to control the motion of flowing microparticles. Here we consider how the shape and geometric confinement of a rigid microparticle can be tailored for 'self-steering' under external flow. We find that an asymmetric particle, weakly confined in one direction and strongly confined in another, will align with the flo...
متن کاملISOGEOMETRIC STRUCTURAL SHAPE OPTIMIZATION USING PARTICLE SWARM ALGORITHM
One primary problem in shape optimization of structures is making a robust link between design model (geometric description) and analysis model. This paper investigates the potential of Isogeometric Analysis (IGA) for solving this problem. The generic framework of shape optimization of structures is presented based on Isogeometric analysis. By discretization of domain via NURBS functions, the a...
متن کاملUniversal intermittent properties of particle trajectories in highly turbulent flows.
We present a collection of eight data sets from state-of-the-art experiments and numerical simulations on turbulent velocity statistics along particle trajectories obtained in different flows with Reynolds numbers in the range R{lambda}in[120:740]. Lagrangian structure functions from all data sets are found to collapse onto each other on a wide range of time lags, pointing towards the existence...
متن کاملGeometric properties of particle trajectories in turbulent flows
We study the statistics of curvature and torsion of Lagrangian trajectories from direct numerical simulations of homogeneous and isotropic turbulence (at Reλ ≈ 280) in order to extract informations on the geometry of small scale coherent structures in turbulent flows. We find that, as previously observed by Braun et al [14] and by Xu et al [23], the high curvature statistics is dominated by lar...
متن کاملParticle Acceleration in Relativistic Flows
A property common to several different astrophysical sources of high-energy gamma-rays is the presence of bulk motion at relativistic speed. The intrinsic spectra of the nonthermal radiating particles also show interesting similarities, with a pronounced hardening towards lower energies. This suggests two distinct acceleration mechanisms could be at work in these sources. At high energies, the ...
