  1. 1. Suspensions of finite-size rigid particles in laminar and turbulent flows

    Författare :Walter Fornari; Luca Brandt; Jérémie Bec; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Suspensions; complex fluids; sedimentation; rheology; turbulence;

    Sammanfattning : Dispersed multiphase flows occur in many biological, engineering and geophysical applications. Understanding the behavior of suspensions is a difficult task. In the present work, we numerically study the behavior of suspensions of finite-size rigid particles in different flows. LÄS MER

  3. 2. A numerical study on orientational arrest and size segregation of dense particle flows using discrete element modeling

    Författare :Zakiyeh Yousefian; Beräkningskemi; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; particle flows; dense suspensions; granular materials;

    Sammanfattning : The thesis focuses on studying dense particle flows, which are either dry or submerged in a Newtonian fluid through two dimensional numerical simulations using the discrete element method (DEM). The First paper deals with dense suspensions in viscous regime under oscillatory planar shear. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Numerical study of dense particle flows under planar shear

    Författare :Junhao Dong; Beräkningskemi; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; dense suspension; granular flow; shear thickening; oscillatory flow; rheology; Discrete element method;

    Sammanfattning : In this thesis I conducted numerical simulations to study the flow behavior of dense particle flows composed of hard particles under planar shear using the discrete element method. The simulations were carried out in two dimensional systems, where the particles are modelled as circular discs. The discs are non-Brownian and neutrally buoyant. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Suspensions of finite-size rigid spheres in different flow cases

    Författare :Walter Fornari; Luca Brandt; Bernhard Mehlig; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Engineering Mechanics; Teknisk mekanik;

    Sammanfattning : Dispersed multiphase flows occur in many biological, engineering and geophysical applications such asfluidized beds, soot particle dispersion and pyroclastic flows. Understanding the behavior of suspensionsis a very difficult task. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Characterization of artificial and biological lipid vesicles using TIRF and SPR

    Författare :Thomas Olsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; membrane permeability; chromaffin vesicle; fluorescence; total internal reflection TIRF microscopy; surface plasmon resonance SPR ; vesicle; osmotic shock; cell membrane; liposome; nanoparticle tracking analysis NTA ; large dense core vesicles LDCVs ;

    Sammanfattning : Synthetic lipid vesicles serve as important mimics of cells and the natural membranes that they are enclosed by. As such they are frequently used as simplified models of the highly complex cell membrane to aid in-depth physicochemical and biological characterization of this essential biological structure.
