The effective dilatational and shear viscosities of a particle-laden fluid interface are computed in the dilute limit under the assumption of an asymptotically vanishing viscosity ratio between both fluids. Spherical particles with a given…
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…
Bound vesicles subject to lateral forces such as arising from shear flow are investigated theoretically by combining a lubrication analysis of the bound part with a scaling approach to the global motion. A minor inclination of the bound…
This study investigates the Reynolds-number dependence of shock-induced flow through particle layers at 10\% volume fraction, using ensemble-averaged results from particle-resolved large eddy simulations. The advantage of using large eddy…
Small-scale dynamos are ubiquitous in a broad range of turbulent flows with large-scale shear, ranging from solar and galactic magnetism to accretion disks, cosmology and structure formation. Using high-resolution direct numerical…
The changes of a turbulent channel flow subjected to oscillations of wall flush-mounted rigid discs are studied by means of direct numerical simulations. The Reynolds number is $R_\tau$=$180$, based on the friction velocity of the…
We analyse the dynamics of a weakly elastic spherical particle translating parallel to a rigid wall in a quiescent Newtonian fluid in the Stokes limit. The particle motion is constrained parallel to the wall by applying a point force and a…
We probe the flow of two dimensional foams, consisting of a monolayer of bubbles sandwiched between a liquid bath and glass plate, as a function of driving rate, packing fraction and degree of disorder. First, we find that bidisperse,…
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…
Previous studies on peristalsis, the pumping of fluid along a channel by wave-like displacements of the channel walls, have shown that the elastic properties of the channel and the peristaltic wave shape can influence the flow rate.…
Using a dynamical density functional theory we analyze the density profile of a colloidal liquid near a wall under shear flow. Due to the symmetries of the system considered, the naive application of dynamical density functional theory does…
Using molecular dynamics (MD) we study the dependency of the contact mechanics on the sliding speed when an elastically soft slab (block) is sliding on a rigid substrate with a ${\rm sin} (q_0 x)$ surface height profile. The atoms on the…
Inertial migration of deformable particles has become appealing in recent years due to its numerous applications in microfluidics and biomedicine. The physics underlying the motion of such particles is contingent upon the presence of lift…
A new scaling is derived that yields a Reynolds number independent profile for all components of the Reynolds stress in the near-wall region of wall bounded flows. The scaling demonstrates the important role played by the wall shear stress…
The sedimentation of a spherical particle in an elastoviscoplastic fluid in proximity of a flat wall is investigated by direct numerical simulations. The governing equations under inertialess conditions are solved by the finite element…
The most direct measurement of adhesion is the pull-off force, i.e. the tensile force necessary to separate two solids in contact. For a given interface, it depends on various experimental parameters, including separation speed, contact age…
We consider the hydrodynamic effect of small particles on the dynamics of a much larger particle moving normal to a planar wall in a highly bidisperse dilute colloidal suspension of spheres. The gap $h_0$ between the large particle and the…
Direct numerical simulation of open channel flow over a geometrically rough wall has been performed at a bulk Reynolds number of approximately 2900. The wall consisted of a layer of spheres in a square arrangement. Two cases have been…
Hypothesis: Measuring rotational and translational Brownian motion of single spherical particles reveals dissipations due to the interaction between the particle and the environment. Experiments: In this article, we show experiments where…
Using the observation that slip in simple fluids at low and moderate shear rates is a thermally activated process driven by the shear stress in the fluid close to the solid boundary, we develop a molecular-kinetic model for simple fluid…
