Particle dispersion in two-dimensional peristaltic flow

چکیده
Abstract Particle dispersion in a two-dimensional peristaltic flow with zero pressure rise is investigated. It is found that, depending on the degree of occlusion of the peristalsis, particle motion can be forward or retrograde. Dispersion of a group of particles is quantified using the mean particle position and the variance around this. The degree of occlusion of the wave can be used to promote dispersion of particles and aggregation in the form of a traveling bolus. The efficacy of particle trapping increases with the amplitude ratio. Entrapment and motion of particles within the bolus are studied. The trapped particles arrange themselves in a self-similar manner as shown in Poincaré sections which are characterized using the fractal dimension.

Particle motion in an unsteady peristaltic fluid flow is analyzed. The fluid is incompressible and Newtonian in a two-dimensional planar geometry. A perturbation method based on a small ratio of wave height to wavelength is used to obtain a closed-form solution for the fluid velocity field. This analytical solution is used in conjunction with an equation of motion for a small rigid sphere in no...

متن کاملTaylor particle dispersion during transition to fully developed two-dimensional turbulence.
We report new measurements of single particle dispersion in turbulent two-dimensional (2D) flows. Laboratory experiments in electromagnetically driven and Faraday wave driven turbulence reveal a transition from weakly dispersing superdiffusive regime to strongly dispersing Brownian diffusion as the flow energy is increased in a broad range. The transition to fully developed 2D turbulence is cha...
