The pressure moments for two rigid spheres in low-Reynolds-number flow
The pressure moment of a rigid particle is defined to be the trace of the first moment of the surface stress acting on the particle. A Fax&r law for the pressure moment of one spherical particle in a general low-Reynolds-number flow is found in terms of the ambient pressure, and the pressure moments of two rigid spheres immersed in a linear ambient flow are calculated using multipole expansions...
متن کاملStochastic low Reynolds number swimmers.
As technological advances allow us to fabricate smaller autonomous self-propelled devices, it is clear that at some point directed propulsion could not come from pre-specified deterministic periodic deformation of the swimmer's body and we need to develop strategies for extracting a net directed motion from a series of random transitions in the conformation space of the swimmer. We present a th...
متن کاملLinearized pipe flow to Reynolds number 107
A Fourier–Chebyshev Petrov–Galerkin spectral method is described for high-accuracy computation of linearized dynamics for flow in an infinite circular pipe. Our code is unusual in being based on solenoidal velocity variables and in being written in MATLAB. Systematic studies are presented of the dependence of eigenvalues, transient growth factors, and other quantities on the axial and azimuthal...
متن کاملMicromixer based on viscoelastic flow instability at low Reynolds number.
We exploited the viscoelasticity of biocompatible dilute polymeric solutions, namely, dilute poly(ethylene oxide) solutions, to significantly enhance mixing in microfluidic devices at a very small Reynolds number, i.e., Re approximately 0.023, but large Peclet and elasticity numbers. With an abrupt contraction microgeometry (8:1 contraction ratio), two different dilute poly(ethylene oxide) solu...
متن کاملStructure and dynamics of low Reynolds number turbulent pipe flow.
Using large-scale numerical calculations, we explore the proper orthogonal decomposition of low Reynolds number turbulent pipe flow, using both the translational invariant (Fourier) method and the method of snapshots. Each method has benefits and drawbacks, making the 'best' choice dependent on the purpose of the analysis. Owing to its construction, the Fourier method includes all the flow fiel...
