The modulation of isotropic turbulence by particles has been investigated using direct numerical simulation (DNS). The particular focus of the present work is on the class of dilute flows in which particle volume fractions and inter-particle collisions are negligible. Gravitational settling is also neglected and particle motion is assumed to be governed by drag with particle relaxation times ra...

The energy required to detach a single particle from a fluid-fluid interface is an important parameter for designing certain soft materials, for example, emulsions stabilised by colloidal particles, colloidosomes designed for targeted drug delivery, and bio-sensors composed of magnetic particles adsorbed at interfaces. For a fixed particle volume, prolate and oblate spheroids attach more strong...

We present a numerical model for dynamic simulation of colloidal particles attached to a fluid interface. A new coupling method is proposed for combining Newtonian dynamics for colloidal particles and the lattice Boltzmann method for fluid phases so as to account for the wetting properties of particle surfaces. With this feature, capillary interaction of colloidal particles, in addition to elec...

We present a new hydrodynamic model for the interactions between collision-free Cucker–Smale flocking particles and a viscous incompressible fluid. Our proposed model consists of two hydrodynamic models. For the Cucker–Smale flocking particles, we employ the pressureless Euler system with a non-local flocking dissipation, whereas for the fluid, we use the incompressible Navier–Stokes equations....

We propose a novel unified particle representation for fluids and solid boundaries in Implicit Incompressible SPH (IISPH). In contrast to existing particle representations, the proposed concept does not require a separate processing of fluid and boundary particles. On one hand, this results in a simplified solver implementation with improved efficiency. On the other hand, the unified fluid and ...

The implementation of solid colloidal particles suspended in a binary fluid mixture via the lattice Boltzmann method is described. To represent colloids in a binary mixture, boundary conditions for mass and momentum at the solid-fluid interface are extended to include a conserved compositional order parameter. The parallelisation of the fluid-particle problem is addressed, and its scaling inves...

A numerical investigation is presented into the relation between finite sized, inertial particle transport and entrainment in the vortex-dominated wake of a square cylinder placed in a channel at two blockage ratios and Lagrangian Coherent Structures (LCS) identified with recent Lagrangian visualization techniques. The square cylinder flow is computed with the incompressible, viscous flow solve...

We present a novel method for creating small scale details as splashes and foam for Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) simulations. In our technique, each fluid particle can become a source emitter of splash particles. The probability of emission is controlled by density decay and velocity of fluid particles. Splash particles are uncoupled, collide only with obstacles and follow only ballist...
