We consider a microscopic model of spherical particles with inertia in a Stokes flow. As the particle number grows to infinity and their size goes to zero we derive the monokinetic Vlasov-Stokes equations as mean-field limit. We do this…
Using dynamical density functional theory we calculate the speed of solidification fronts advancing into a quenched two-dimensional model fluid of soft-core particles. We find that solidification fronts can advance via two different…
This work is devoted to the definition and the analysis of the effective viscosity associated with a random suspension of small rigid particles in a steady Stokes fluid. While previous works on the topic have been conveniently assuming that…
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…
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…
Stability of coarse particles against gravity is an important issue in dense suspensions (fresh concrete, foodstuff, etc.). On the one hand, it is known that they are stable at rest when the interstitial paste has a high enough yield…
This paper seeks to carry out the rigorous homogenization of a particulate flow consisting of a non-dilute suspension of a viscous Newtonian fluid with magnetizable particles. The fluid is assumed to be described by the Stokes flow, while…
We study the effect of turbulence on a sedimenting layer of particles by means of direct numerical simulations. A Lagrangian model in which particles are considered as tracers with an additional downward settling velocity is integrated…
We study the Vlasov-Stokes equations which macroscopically model the sedimentation of a cloud of particles in a fluid, where particle inertia are taken into account but fluid inertia are assumed to be negligible. We consider the limit when…
Variable viscosity arises in many flow scenarios, often imposing numerical challenges. Yet, discretisation methods designed specifically for non-constant viscosity are few, and their analysis is even scarcer. In finite element methods for…
Self-propelled particles in an external gravitational field have been shown to display both an increased sedimentation length and polar order even without particle interactions. Here, we investigate self-propelled particles which…
This work develops a quantitative homogenization theory for random suspensions of rigid particles in a steady Stokes flow, and completes recent qualitative results. More precisely, we establish a large-scale regularity theory for this…
We study experimentally the spatial distribution, settling, and interaction of sub-Kolmogorov inertial particles with homogeneous turbulence. Utilizing a zero-mean-flow air turbulence chamber, we drop size-selected solid particles and study…
We show, by direct numerical simulations, that heavy inertial particles (characterized by Stokes number $\St$) in inhomogeneously forced statistically stationary isothermal turbulent flows cluster at the minima of mean-square turbulent…
Starting from the equations of Stokes flow and the mass conservation of particles as determined by shear-induced diffusion, we derive the coupled equations for the dynamics of particle concentration and film thickness for the free-surface…
We investigate the motion of a suspended non-Brownian sphere past a fixed cylindrical or spherical obstacle in the limit of zero Reynolds number for arbitrary particle-obstacle aspect ratios. We consider both a suspended sphere moving in a…
This paper is devoted to the well-posedness analysis of a nonstationary Stokes hemivariational inequality for an incompressible fluid flow described by the Stokes equations subject to a nonsmooth boundary condition of friction type…
We investigate the spatial distribution of inertial particles suspended in the bulk of a turbulent inhomogeneous flow. By means of direct numerical simulations of particle trajectories transported by the turbulent Kolmogorov flow, we study…
The settling velocities of natural, synthetic, and industrial particles were measured in a grid turbulence facility using optical measurement techniques. Particle Image Velocimetry and 2D Particle Tracking were used to measure the…
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…
