Reynolds numbers from the entrance, changes from one centred at the annulus predicted by …

A numerical study of the unsteady wake behind a sphere in a uniform flow at moderate Reynolds numbers

S Lee - Computers & Fluids, 2000 - Elsevier
Numerical simulations of uniform flow past a sphere are presented for Reynolds numbers
from 100 to 500. The Navier–Stokes equations are discretized in three-dimensional space …

Incipient motion of individual particles in horizontal particle–fluid systems: B. Theoretical analysis

E Rabinovich, H Kalman - Powder Technology, 2009 - Elsevier
This paper presents a theoretical analysis of the force and moment balance during incipient
motion of a single particle. The analysis showed that large particles start their motion by …

DS Dandy, HA Dwyer - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 1990 - cambridge.org
Three-dimensional numerical solutions have been obtained for steady, linear shear flow
past a fixed, heated spherical particle over a wide range of Reynolds number (0.1 [les] R …

Effect of weak fluid inertia upon Jeffery orbits

J Einarsson, F Candelier, F Lundell, JR Angilella… - Physical Review E, 2015 - APS
We consider the rotation of small neutrally buoyant axisymmetric particles in a viscous
steady shear flow. When inertial effects are negligible the problem exhibits infinitely many …

Oscillatory motions of circular disks and nearly spherical particles in viscous flows

W Zhang, HA Stone - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 1998 - cambridge.org
Oscillatory translational and rotational motions of small particles in viscous fluids are studied
for two cases:(i) circular disks and (ii) nearly spherical particles. For circular disks, four …

Wake structure of a transversely rotating sphere at moderate Reynolds numbers

M Giacobello, A Ooi, S Balachandar - Journal of fluid mechanics, 2009 - cambridge.org
The uniform flow past a sphere undergoing steady rotation about an axis transverse to the
free stream flow was investigated numerically. The objective was to reveal the effect of …

Flow about a fluid sphere at low to moderate Reynolds numbers

DLR Oliver, JN Chung - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 1987 - cambridge.org
The steady-state equations of motion are solved for a fluid sphere translating in a quiescent
medium. A semi-analytical series truncation method is employed in conjunction with a cubic …
