asymptotic expansion type of solution is presented for an unsteady low-Reynolds-number …

Simulation of flow between concentric rotating spheres. Part 2. Transitions

PS Marcus, LS Tuckerman - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 1987 - cambridge.org
We examine the transitions among the steady-state axisymmetric spherical Couette flows

Particle collision efficiencies for a sphere

DH Michael, PW Norey - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 1969 - cambridge.org
Trajectories are calculated for small particles introduced upstream into a fluid flowing past a
fixed sphere. Unseparated potential flow is taken as the velocity profile for the fluid, and the …

improve knowledge of the forces acting on a sphere embedded in accelerated flows at finite …

Numerical solution of a uniform flow over a sphere at intermediate Reynolds numbers

Y Rimon, SI Cheng - The Physics of Fluids, 1969 - pubs.aip.org
Numerical solutions of the transient uniform flow around a sphere are obtained. The
transition takes place between an initial potential flow and a fully developed viscous field …

On the viscous motion of a small particle in a rotating cylinder

CFM Coimbra, MH Kobayashi - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2002 - cambridge.org
The dynamics of a non-neutrally buoyant particle moving in a rotating cylinder filled with a
Newtonian fluid is examined analytically. The particle is set in motion from the centre of the …

Planar symmetry in the unsteady wake of a sphere

THE sphere can be considereda prototypicalaxisymmetric bluff body, and understandingthe
sphere wake is important because of its relevance to a number of aerodynamic and …

Unsteady drag on a sphere at finite Reynolds number with small fluctuations in the free-stream velocity

R Mei, CJ Lawrence, RJ Adrian - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 1991 - cambridge.org
Unsteady flow over a stationary sphere with small fluctuations in the free-stream velocity is
considered at finite Reynolds number using a finite-difference method. The dependence of …

Laminar flow past a sphere rotating in the streamwise direction

Numerical simulations are conducted for laminar flow past a sphere rotating in the
streamwise direction, in order to investigate the effect of the rotation on the characteristics of …

The inertial lift on a spherical particle in a plane Poiseuille flow at large channel Reynolds number

ES Asmolov - Journal of fluid mechanics, 1999 - cambridge.org
The inertial migration of a small rigid sphere translating parallel to the walls within a channel
flow at large channel Reynolds numbers is investigated. The method of matched asymptotic …
