Various types of coagulation devices have been used to study aggregation, with the goal of understanding aggregation dynamics in natural and engineered systems. Three different devices were investigated here (paddle mixer, oscillating grid and Couette) to examine the effect of different laboratory devices on the particle size spectra over a wide range of shear range values (G=4-102 s(-1)) at fo...

The aim of the present study is deriving an analytical solution to incompressible thermal flow in a micro-Couette geometry in the presence of a pressure gradient using Burnett equations with first- and second-order slip boundary conditions. The lower plate of the micro-Couette structure is stationary, whereas the upper plate moves at a constant velocity. Non-dimensional axial velocity and tempe...

2014 A Couette-type apparatus has been constructed which allows the observation of small angle neutron scattering from fluids in a constant shear gradient. Typical systems which can be investigated by this apparatus are polymer solutions and melts, anisotropic biopolymers, viruses in solution and various colloidal liquids. Revue Phys.

We investigate probability density functions of velocity differences at different distances r measured in a Couette-Taylor flow for a range of Reynolds numbers Re. There is good agreement with the predictions of a theoretical model based on nonextensive statistical mechanics (where the entropies are nonadditive for independent subsystems). We extract the scale-dependent nonextensitivity paramet...

Is it possible to solve Boltzmann-type kinetic equations using only a small number of particle velocities? We introduce a technique of solving kinetic equations with a (arbitrarily) large number of particle velocities using only a lattice Boltzmann method on standard, low-symmetry lattices. The renormalized kinetic equation is validated with an exact solution of the planar Couette flow at moder...

in this paper, the ritz-galerkin method in bernstein polynomial basis is applied for solving the nonlinear problem of the magnetohydrodynamic (mhd) flow of third grade fluid between the two plates. the properties of the bernstein  polynomials together with the ritz-galerkin method are used to reduce the solution of the mhd couette flow of non-newtonian fluid in a porous medium to the solution o...
