We investigate the behavior of colloidal suspensions with different volume fractions confined between parallel walls under a range of steady shears. We model the particles using molecular dynamics (MD) with full hydrodynamic interactions…
Soft particles suspended in fluids flowing through microchannels are often encountered in biological flows such as cells in vessels. They can deform under flow or when subject to mechanical stresses as they interact with themselves.…
We present various Lattice Boltzmann Models which reproduce the effects of rough walls, shear thinning and granular flow. We examine the boundary layers generated by the roughness of the walls. Shear thinning produces plug flow with a sharp…
The deposition of nanometer-scale particles is of significant interest in various industrial processes. While these particles offer several advantages, their deposition can have detrimental effects, such as reducing the heat transfer…
The agglomeration of particles caused by the formation of capillary bridges has a decisive impact on the transport properties of a variety of at a first sight very different systems such as capillary suspensions, fluidized beds in chemical…
We study suspensions of rigid particles in a plane Couette flow with deformable elastic walls. We find that, in the limit of vanishing inertia, the elastic walls induce shear thinning of the suspension flow such that the effective viscosity…
We study liquid-vapor phase separation under shear via the Shan-Chen lattice Boltzmann model. Besides the rheological characteristics, we analyze the Kelvin-Helmholtz(K-H) instability resulting from the tangential velocity difference of the…
Simple shear flow can induce flow-aligned chain formation of particles suspended in viscoelastic fluids. Although this phenomenon has been reported for decades, direct {\it in situ} measurements of the alignment dynamics and particle…
Addition of particles to a viscoelastic suspension dramatically alters the properties of the mixture, particularly when it is sheared or otherwise processed. Shear-induced stretching of the polymers results in elastic stress that causes a…
We apply lattice Boltzmann method to study the phase separation of a two-dimensional binary fluid mixture in shear flow. The algorithm can simulate systems described by the Navier-Stokes and convection-diffusion equations. We propose a new…
We apply lattice Boltzmann methods to study the relaxation of the velocity profile in binary fluids under shear during spinodal decomposition. In simple fluids, when a shear flow is applied on the boundaries of the system, the time required…
This is a fluid dynamics video submitted to the Gallery of Fluid Motion of the 63rd Annual Meeting of the American Physical Society Division of Fluid Dynamics. We examine the Landau-Levich flow of a suspension of neutrally buoyant particles…
The interplay of inertia and deformability has a substantial impact on the transport of soft particles suspended in a fluid. However, to date a thorough understanding of these systems is still missing and only a limited number of…
We present a Lattice-Boltzmann method for simulating self-propelling (active) colloidal particles in two-dimensions. Active particles with symmetric and asymmetric force distribution on its surface are considered. The velocity field…
We have studied experimentally particle suspension when injecting a gas at the bottom of an immersed granular layer confined in a Hele-Shaw cell. This work focuses on the dynamics of particles slightly denser than the surrounding fluid. The…
Binary encounters between spherical particles in shear flow are studied for a system bounded by a single planar wall or two parallel planar walls under creeping flow conditions. We show that wall proximity gives rise to a new class of…
We use lattice Boltzmann simulations to study the effect of shear on the phase ordering of a two-dimensional binary fluid. The shear is imposed by generalising the lattice Boltzmann algorithm to include Lees-Edwards boundary conditions. We…
We use a theoretical model to explore how fluid dynamics, in particular, the pressure gradient and wall shear stress in a channel, affect the deposition of particles flowing in a microfluidic network. Experiments on transport of colloidal…
Particle resuspension refers to the physical process by which solid particles deposited on a surface are, first, detached and, then, entrained away by the action of a fluid flow. In this study, we explore the dynamics of large and heavy…
The dynamics of entrainment of finite-size heavy particles in a turbulent open channel flow over a smooth surface are analyzed. Three types of simulations, namely with freely moving, rotation-constrained, and spanwise-motion-constrained…
