Hydromechanics of low - Reynolds - number flow . Part 4
The problem of a uniform transverse flow past a prolate spheroid of arbitrary aspect ratio a t low Reynolds numbers has been analysed by the method of matched asymptotic expansions. The solution is found to depend on two Reynolds numbers, one based on the semi-minor axis b, Rb = Ublv, and the other on the semi-major axis a, Ra = Ualv (U being the free-stream velocity at infinity, which is perpe...
متن کاملHydromechanics of low - Reynolds - number flow . Part 5 . Motion of a slender torus
In order to elucidate the general Stokes flow characteristics present for slender bodies of finite centre-line curvature the singularity method for Stokesflow has been employed to construct solutions to the flow past a slender torus. The symmetry of the geometry and absence of ends has made a highly accurate analysis possible. The no-slip boundary condition on the body surface is satisfied up t...
متن کاملPassive swimming in low-Reynolds-number flows.
The possibility of microscopic swimming by extraction of energy from an external flow is discussed, focusing on the migration of a simple trimer across a linear shear flow. The geometric properties of swimming, together with the possible generalization to the case of a vesicle, are analyzed. The mechanism of energy extraction from the flow appears to be the generalization to a discrete swimmer ...
متن کاملAsymptotic Exponents from Low-Reynolds-Number Flows
The high-order statistics of fluctuations in velocity gradients in the crossover range from the inertial to the Kolmogorov and sub-Kolmogorov scales are studied by direct numerical simulations (DNS) of homogeneous isotropic turbulence with vastly improved resolution. The derivative moments for orders 0 ≤ n ≤ 8 are represented well as powers of the Reynolds number, Re, in the range 380 ≤ Re ≤ 22...
متن کاملComplex magnetohydrodynamic low-Reynolds-number flows.
The interaction between electric currents and a magnetic field is used to produce body (Lorentz) forces in electrolyte solutions. By appropriate patterning of the electrodes, one can conveniently control the direction and magnitude of the electric currents and induce spatially and temporally complicated flow patterns. This capability is useful, not only for fundamental flow studies, but also fo...
