The hydrodynamics of confined dispersions
A method is proposed for computing the low-Reynolds-number hydrodynamic forces on particles comprising a suspension confined by two parallel, no-slip walls. This is constructed via the two-dimensional analogue of Hasimoto’s solution (J. Fluid Mech., vol. 5, 1959, pp. 317–328) for a periodic array of point forces in a viscous, incompressible fluid, and, like Hasimoto, the summation of interactio...
متن کاملHydrodynamics of confined active fluids.
We theoretically describe the dynamics of swimmer populations in rigidly confined thin liquid films. We first demonstrate that hydrodynamic interactions between confined swimmers depend solely on their shape and are independent of their specific swimming mechanism. We also show that, due to friction with the nearby rigid walls, confined swimmers do not just reorient in flow gradients but also i...
متن کاملAnisotropic diffusion in confined colloidal dispersions: the evanescent diffusivity.
We employ an analogy to traditional dynamic light scattering to describe the inhomogeneous and anisotropic diffusion of colloid particles near a solid boundary measured via evanescent wave dynamic light scattering. Following this approach, we generate new expressions for the short-time self- and collective diffusivities of colloidal dispersions with arbitrary volume fraction. We use these expre...
متن کاملColloidal dispersions confined in voids of polymer gel matrix
Dispersions of ionic polymer latex (diameter = 600 nm) consisted of 10 to 1000 particles were confined in spherical voids having diameters of several tens pm formed in a hydrogel (agarose) matrix. The system was constructed first by confining the latex dispersions in giant liposomes, immobilizing the liposomes by using the hydrogel matrix, and then removing the liposome membranes from the matri...
متن کاملCrossover from hydrodynamics to the kinetic regime in confined nanoflows.
We present an experimental study of a confined nanoflow, which is generated by a sphere oscillating in the proximity of a flat solid wall in a simple fluid. Varying the oscillation frequency, the confining length scale, and the fluid mean free path over a broad range provides a detailed map of the flow. We use this experimental map to construct a scaling function, which describes the nanoflow i...
