  1. 1. Inertial collisions in random flows

    Författare :Kristian Gustafsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Collisions; nonlinear dynamical systems; particles and aerosols; random processes; suspensions; turbulent diffusion; turbulent flows;

    Sammanfattning : In nature, suspensions of small particles in fluids are common. An important example are rain droplets suspended in turbulent clouds. Such clouds can start to rain very quickly and the reason for this is still not fully explained, but it is believed that the turbulent motion in the cloud plays an important role. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Stability analysis and inertial regimes in complex  flows

    Författare :Iman Lashgari; Luca Brandt; Anke Lindner; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; non-Newtonian flow; global stability analysis; inertial suspensions; particle dynamics;

    Sammanfattning : In this work we rst study the non-Newtonian effects on the inertial instabilities in shear flows and second the inertial suspensions of finite size rigid particles by means of numerical simulations.In the first part, both inelastic (Carreau) and elastic models (Oldroyd-B and FENE-P) have been employed to examine the main features of the non-Newtonian fluids in several congurations; flow past a circular cylinder, in a lid-driven cavity and in a channel.

  4. 3. 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

  5. 4. Numerical study of particle suspensions in Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids

    Författare :Dhiya Alghalibi; Luca Brandt; Metin Muradoglu; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; inertial suspensions; rheology; non-Newtonian fluids; visco-elastic; sedimentation; deformable particle; hyper-elastic.; tröghetsbehäftad suspension; reologi; icke-Newtonska fluider; vis- koelastik; sedimentering; deformerbara partiklar; hyperelastik; Engineering Mechanics; Teknisk mekanik;

    Sammanfattning : Solid or deformable particles suspended in a viscous fluid are of scientific and technological interest in a broad range of applications. Pyroclastic flows from volcanoes, sedimentation flows in river bed, food industries, oil-well drilling, as well as blood flow in the human body and the motion of suspended micro-organisms in water (like plankton) are among the possible examples.

  7. 5. Laminar and turbulent particle laden flows : a numerical and experimental study

    Författare :Seyed Hamid Tabaeikazerooni; Luca Brandt; Jeanette Hussong; Raffaella Ocone; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Suspension flow; inertial effect; turbulent duct flow; finite-size particles; Immersed Boundary Method IBM ; Astigmatism Particle Tracking Velocimetry APTV ; Engineering Mechanics; Teknisk mekanik;

    Sammanfattning : Particle laden flows are widespread in nature and in industrial applications. Dust storms, geophysical flows, pharmaceutical processes, fluidized beds and blood flow are only a few examples. Both global and local properties of a particle laden flow may alter significantly in comparison to the corresponding single phase flow. LÄS MER
