We present a numerical study of noncolloidal spherical and rigid particles suspended in Newtonian, shear thinning and shear thickening fluids employing an Immersed Boundary Method. We consider a linear Couette configuration to explore a…
We use X-ray imaging to study viscous resuspension. In a Taylor-Couette geometry, we shear an initially settled layer of spherical glass particles immersed in a Newtonian fluid and measure the local volume fraction profiles. In this…
We present experimental observations of the spatial distribution of large inertial particles suspended in a turbulent swirling flow at high Reynolds number. The plastic particles, which are tracked using several high speed cameras, are…
We study the sedimentation of finite-size inertial particles in a Rayleigh-Taylor-like setup using state-of-the-art direct numerical simulations. The falling particles are observed to produce two distinct regions: a leading mixing layer…
The sedimentation of a rigid particle near a wall in a viscous fluid has been studied numerically by many authors, but analytical solutions have been derived only for special cases such as the motion of spherical particles. In this paper…
In this work, we aim to deepen the understanding of inertial clustering and the role of sling events in high-Reynolds number ($Re$) particle-laden turbulence. To this end, we perform one-way coupled particle tracking in flow fields obtained…
Spatial distributions of heavy particles suspended in an incompressible isotropic and homogeneous turbulent flow are investigated by means of high resolution direct numerical simulations. In the dissipative range, it is shown that particles…
A generalized reciprocal theorem is used to relate the force and torque induced on a particle in an inertia-less fluid with small variation in viscosity to integrals involving Stokes flow fields and the spatial dependence of viscosity.…
We describe the effect of hydrodynamic interactions in the sedimentation of a pair of inextensible semiflexible filaments under a uniform constant force at low Reynolds numbers. We have analyzed the different regimes and the morphology of…
We investigate sedimentation of model hard sphere-like colloidal dispersions confined in horizontal capillaries using laser scanning confocal microscopy, dynamical density functional theory, and Brownian dynamics computer simulations. For…
The settling behaviour of small inertial particles in turbulent convection is a fundamental problem across several disciplines, from geophysics to metallurgy. In a geophysical context, the settling of dense crystals controls the mode of…
We present the extension of a modeling technique for Lagrangian tracer particles [B. Viggiano et al., J. Fluid Mech.(2020), vol. 900, A27] which accounts for the effects of particle inertia. Thereby, the particle velocity for several Stokes…
A nonlinear two-fluid stochastic hydrodynamical description of velocity and concentration fluctuations in sedimenting suspensions is constructed, and analyzed using self-consistent (SC) and renormalization group (RG) methods. The advection…
We investigate the mechanisms by which inertial particles dispersed at semi-dilute conditions cause significant drag-reduction in a turbulent channel flow at $\mathrm{Re}_\tau = 180$. We consider a series of four-way coupled Euler-Lagrange…
We present a numerical study of a thin elastic sheet with small extensibility freely sedimenting in a viscous fluid. Two scenarios are investigated: sedimentation in free space and near an infinite wall, where the wall may be vertical or…
We consider the sedimentation of $N$ spherical particles with identical radii $R$ in a Stokes flow in $\mathbb R^3$. The particles satisfy a no-slip boundary condition and are subject to constant gravity. The dynamics of the particles is…
Granular suspensions present a transition from a Newtonian rheology in the Stokes limit to a Bagnoldian rheology when inertia is increased. A custom rheometer which can be run in a pressure or a volume-imposed mode is used to examine this…
Aerosols are ubiquitous, and particle capture from particle-laden air as it flows past an obstacle is of widespread practical importance. Neglecting diffusion, previous work has shown that for a smooth curved surface in both Stokes flow and…
Inertial particles are often observed to be trapped, temporarily or permanently, by recirculation cells which are ubiquitous in natural or industrial flows. In the limit of small particle inertia, determining the conditions of trapping is a…
Inertial particle data from three-dimensional direct numerical simulations of particle-laden homogeneous isotropic turbulence at high Reynolds number are analyzed using Voronoi tessellation of the particle positions, considering different…
