We investigate the orientation dynamics of a neutrally buoyant spheroid, of an arbitrary aspect ratio ($\kappa$), freely rotating in a weakly viscoelastic fluid undergoing simple shear flow. Weak elasticity is characterized by a small but…
We derive an effective equation of motion for the orientational dynamics of a neutrally buoyant spheroid suspended in a simple shear flow, valid for arbitrary particle aspect ratios and to linear order in the shear Reynolds number. We show…
We investigate the dynamics of a prolate spheroid in a shear flow of a shear-thinning Carreau fluid. The motion of a prolate particle is developed analytically for asymptotically weak shear thinning and then integrated numerically. We find…
Particles in inertialess flows of shear thinning fluids are a model representation for several systems in biology, ecology, and micro-fluidics.In this paper, we analyze the motion of a spheroid in a pressure driven flow of a shear thinning…
We theoretically examine the inertial migration of a neutrally buoyant spheroid of aspect ratio $\kappa$ in wall-bounded plane Poiseuille flow at small particle Reynolds number ($Re_p$) and small confinement ratio ($\lambda$), with channel…
Velocity relaxation of a spherically symmetric polymer, immersed in a viscous incompressible fluid, and after a sudden small impulse or a sudden twist from a state of rest, is studied on the basis of the linearized Navier-Stokes equations…
The motion of a deformable active particle in linear shear flow is explored theoretically. Based on symmetry considerations, in two spatial dimensions, we propose coupled nonlinear dynamical equations for the particle position, velocity,…
We use numerical simulations to study the flow of a bidisperse mixture of athermal, frictionless, soft-core two dimensional spherocylinders driven by a uniform steady-state simple shear applied at a fixed volume and a fixed finite strain…
We analyse the angular velocity of a small neutrally buoyant spheroid log rolling in a simple shear. When the effect of fluid inertia is negligible the angular velocity $\omega$ equals half the fluid vorticity. We compute by singular…
This work investigates the orbital dynamics of a fluid-filled deformable prolate capsule in unbounded shear flow. The motion of the capsule is simulated using a model that incorporates shear elasticity, area dilatation, and bending…
Motion of elongated particles in shear is studied. In applications where particles are much heavier than the carrying fluid, e.g. aerosols, the influence of particle inertia dominates the particle dynamics. Assuming that the particle only…
Using high-fidelity numerical simulations based on a lattice Boltzmann framework, the advection-enhanced transport of a passive scalar from a prolate spheroid in simple shear flow has been thoroughly investigated across various parameters,…
We consider the dynamics of a small spherical particle driven through an unbounded viscoelastic shear flow by an external force. We give analytical solutions to both the mobility problem (velocity of forced particle) and the resistance…
In the Stokesian limit, the streamline topology around a single neutrally buoyant sphere is identical to the topology of pair-sphere pathlines, both in an ambient simple shear flow. In both cases there are fore-aft symmetric open and closed…
The orientation dynamics of a massive rigid ellipsoid in simple shear flow of a Newtonian fluid is investigated in detail. The term `massive' refers to dominant particle inertia, as characterized by $St \gg 1$, $St =…
This paper examines the rigid body motion of a spheroid sedimenting in a Newtonian fluid with a spatially varying viscosity field. The fluid is at zero Reynolds number, and the viscosity varies linearly in space in an arbitrary direction…
We numerically analyse the rotation of a neutrally buoyant spheroid in a shear flow at small shear Reynolds number. Using direct numerical stability analysis of the coupled nonlinear particle-flow problem we compute the linear stability of…
The dynamics of anisotropic particles in viscous flows underpin a wide range of processes in soft matter, microfluidics, and targeted drug delivery. Here, we investigate the motion of externally driven prolate and oblate spheroids suspended…
Studies of particle motion in vortical flows have mainly focused on point-like particles, either inertial or self-propelled. This approximation assumes that the velocity field that surrounds the particle is linear. We consider an…
The study of creeping motion of viscoelastic fluid around a rotating rigid torus is investigated. The analysis of the problem is performed using a second-order viscoelastic model. The study is carried out in terms of the bipolar toroidal…
