Simulation of Flexible Fibers in Stokes Flow
When elastic fibers are immersed in a Newtonian fluid, the behavior of the system, or the “fiber suspension” becomes non-Newtonian. Understanding the dynamics of such systems is of particular interest in a wide variety of fields, including locomotion of microorganisms, paper and pulp industry, microfluidics etc. When these fibers are immersed in the fluid at low Reynolds number, the elastic equ...
متن کاملDynamics of flexible fibers in shear flow.
Dynamics of flexible non-Brownian fibers in shear flow at low-Reynolds-number are analyzed numerically for a wide range of the ratios A of the fiber bending force to the viscous drag force. Initially, the fibers are aligned with the flow, and later they move in the plane perpendicular to the flow vorticity. A surprisingly rich spectrum of different modes is observed when the value of A is syste...
متن کاملA Numerical Study of Drop Motion in Poiseuille Flow
The cross-stream migration of a deformable drop in two-dimensional Poiseuille flow at finite Reynolds numbers is studied numerically. In the limit of a small Reynolds number (<1), the motion of the drop depends strongly on the ratio of the viscosity of the drop fluid to the viscosity of the suspending fluid. For a viscosity ratio 0.125, the drop moves toward the centre of the channe while for t...
متن کاملJeffery Hamel Flow of a non-Newtonian Fluid
This paper presents the Jeffery Hamel flow of a non-Newtonian fluid namely Casson fluid. Suitable similarity transform is applied to reduce governing nonlinear partial differential equations to a much simpler ordinary differential equation. Variation of Parameters Method (VPM) is then employed to solve resulting equation. Same problem is solved numerical by using Runge-Kutta order 4 method. A c...
