We develop a new simulation method of colloidal suspensions, which we call a "fluid particle dynamics" (FPD) method. This FPD method, which treats a colloid as a fluid particle, removes the difficulties stemming from a solid-fluid boundary condition in the treatment of hydrodynamic interactions between the particles. The importance of interparticle hydrodynamic interactions in the aggregation p...

Athermal lattice gases of particles with first neighbor exclusion have been studied for a long time as simple models exhibiting a fluid-solid transition. At low concentration the particles occupy randomly both sublattices, but as the concentration is increased one of the sublattices is occupied preferentially. Here, we study a mixed lattice gas with excluded volume interactions only in the gran...

The selective retention of particles in the reticulo-rumen and in the gastrointestinal tract distal to the reticulo-rumen was studied in fistulated sheep maintained on a roughage diet. Polyethylene glycol and plastic particles of different lengths (1 and 10 mm) and densities (0.92, 1.03, 1.22 and 1.44 g/ml) were either fed or were introduced into the omasum. The mean retention time in the retic...

Our study focused on evaluation of pollution from newly developed synthetic, biodegradable fluid MOL Farm UTTO Synt, produced by Slovnaft Company, member of MOL Group, Hungary. Fluid was subject of accelerated test in laboratories owned by Department of Transport and Handling, Faculty of Engineering, Slovak University of Agriculture in Nitra. Accelerated laboratory test was realized by cyclic p...

one of the most important advantages of particle simulation as compared to fluid simulation is the capacity for working with and tracing particles. in particle simulations, the test particle method is usually used to get some idea of the behavior of plasma or other substances. in this method, first, a small number of particles are injected into the frame of static electromagnetic fields. then, ...

maybe viscosity in drilling fluid is the most important parameter because cutting removal from well are task of viscose fluid. if viscosity of fluid is less than particular value, cutting will settle down in well and drilling operation will be stopped. in this study, synthesis of alumina/polyacrylamide nanocomposite through solution polymerization method was performed. rheological behavior of m...

A method for the controlled positioning of small particles in one or two dimensions by an ultrasound field excited by a surface wave is presented. Particles of a diameter between 10 and 100 microm placed on a surface can be concentrated at certain locations and moved over the surface. In other approaches it is possible to let the particle levitate freely in the fluid. However for the use of ult...

Magneto rheological fluid (MRF) is a smart fluid whose properties can be controlled with the help of metal particles and magnetic field. These fluids have the ability to transmit force in a controlled manner with the help of magnetic field, thus improving their performance especially in areas where controlled fluid motion is required. Some applications of magneto rheological fluid technology ar...
