Accumulating Particles at the Boundaries of a Laminar Flow
نویسندگان
چکیده
The accumulation of small particles is analyzed in stationary flows through channels of variable width at small Reynolds number. The combined influence of pressure, viscous drag and thermal fluctuations is described by means of a Fokker-Planck equation for the particle density. It is shown that for extended spherical particles the shape of the fluid domain gives rise to inhomogeneous particle densities, thereby leading to particle accumulation and corresponding depletion. For extended spherical particles, conditions are specified that lead to inhomogeneous densities and consequently to regions with particle accumulation and depletion.

The effect of micro/nano-particles on pressure drop in Oil pipeline: Simulation
A high pressure drop happens when heavy oil with high viscosity moves through the oil pipeline. A variety of methods to avoid this pressure drop is available. One of which is injection of chemicals to reduce the viscosity and ultimately reduce pressure drop. Using the pipesim software, the effect of dispersion of nano and micro-particles into the oil has been simulated to study the amount of th...
