General solution of the particle momentum equation in unsteady Stokes flows
111
TL;DR: In this paper, the particle momentum equation for unsteady Stokes flows is obtained analytically by applying a fractional differential operator to the first-order integro-differential equation of motion in order to transform the original equation into a second-order non-homogeneous equation, and then solving this last equation by the method of variation of parameters.

Abstract: The general solution of the particle momentum equation for unsteady Stokes flows is obtained analytically The method used to obtain the solution consists of applying a fractional-differential operator to the first-order integro-differential equation of motion in order to transform the original equation into a second-order non-homogeneous equation, and then solving this last equation by the method of variation of parameters The fractional differential operator consists of a three-time-scale linear operator that stretches the order of the Riemann–Liouville fractional derivative associated with the history term in the equation of motion In order to illustrate the application of the general solution to particular background flow fields, the particle velocity is calculated for three specific flow configurations These flow configurations correspond to the gravitationally induced motion of a particle through an otherwise quiescent fluid, the motion of a particle caused by a background velocity field that accelerates linearly in time, and the motion of a particle in a fluid that undergoes an impulsive acceleration The analytical solutions for these three specific cases are analysed and compared to other solutions found in the literature

A fast Eulerian method for disperse two-phase flow
Jim Ferry,S. Balachandar +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a variant of the Eulerian method for two-phase flow that is valid for small particle response time τ is proposed. But it is not suitable for the case of turbophoresis.

TL;DR: A novel spiral microchannel with a trapezoidal cross-section that generates stronger Dean vortices at the outer half of the channel and shows that particles focusing in such device are sensitive to particle size and flow rate, and a higher separation resolution is achieved over conventional spiral microchannels with rectangular cross- section.

Application of the Langevin equation to fluid suspensions
TL;DR: The theory of thermal noise in a general linear system is applied to both the particles and the fluid in a novel formulation as discussed by the authors, which enables the recent modification of the Langevin equation to include the effect of fluid inertia to be seen as just a necessary but simple reinterpretation of the original analysis, without introducing the theory of non-Markovian processes.

The hydrodynamic force on a rigid particle undergoing arbitrary time-dependent motion at small Reynolds number
TL;DR: In this article, the hydrodynamic force acting on a rigid spherical particle translating with arbitrary time-dependent motion in a timedependent flowing fluid is calculated to O(Re) for small but finite values of the Reynolds number, Re, based on the particle's slip velocity relative to the uniform flow.
