چکیده
Knowledge of suspension rheology can help in the prediction of its behavior under various flow conditions. Considerable theoretical effort has been made to model the macroscopic properties of suspensions of rigid particles in a Newtonian fluid, but for the most part it has been limited to zero particle Reynolds number. In this paper we investigate the effect of finite particle Reynolds number on the macroscopic properties of suspensions of rigid circular particles in a Newtonian fluid in the dilute limit (no interaction between particles). Two-dimensional numerical simulations are performed. Navier–Stokes equations are solved for the fluid without neglecting any terms. It is seen that the viscosity of the suspension shear thickens. The first normal stress difference is negative and increases in magnitude as the Reynolds number is increased. 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

The classical Board±Hall model is re-examined and shown to imply that, contrary to the model's intention and widely-held interpretation, multiphase thermal detonations are not physically possible. A new key physical concept is introduced, and the results show the existence of supercritical detonations, even in lean (melt content) premixtures, in agreement with recent experimental evidence. This...

This communication describes the results of bubble rise simulations using a lattice Boltzmann method and a front-tracking finite-difference method. The simulations, performed in a 2-D periodic box, consider two specific examples: a steadily rising bubble and a bubble rising in an oscillatory manner with accompanying shape change. We compare the shapes and rise velocities of the steadily rising ...

The motion of a single elongated (Taylor) bubble propagating in a transparent vertical pipe is studied experimentally in stagnant liquid, as well as in upward and downward liquid ̄ow. Digital image processing of a sequence of video images serves as the main experimental method for the study of the Taylor bubble motion. In addition, the distribution of the velocities in front of the bubble and i...

The motion of elongated (Taylor) bubbles in air±water vertical ̄ow is studied by processing consecutive series of digitized video images. The shape of the elongated bubbles, as well as the velocities of the liquid±gas interfaces, are measured for various ̄ow conditions. The bubble velocity variation caused by air expansion under the in ̄uence of hydrostatic pressure gradient is measured and comp...
