This paper focuses on improving the description of the contact between solid particles in a fluid flow. The numerical approach used is related to the fictitious domain method for the fluid–solid problem. It is associated to a gluey particle model in order to improve the behaviour of the particles during their contacts as a Lagrangian method is applied for their displacement. The numerical methodology is validated through 2D and 3D computations describing interactions of two particles in a shear flow. The results obtained show the ability of the scheme to recover the reversibility of the Stokes equations, even for 3D configurations. Finally, another example is studied with larger number of particles.

AbstractIn this paper we consider a suspension of elastic solid particles in a viscous liquid. The particles are assumed to be neo-Hookean and can undergo finite elastic deformations. A polarization technique, originally developed for analogous problems in linear elasticity, is used to establish a theory for describing the finite-strain, time-dependent response of an ellipsoidal elastic particle in a viscous fluid flow under Stokes flow conditions. A set of coupled, nonlinear, first-order ODEs is obtained for the evolution of the uniform stress fields in the particle, as well as for the shape and orientation of the particle, which can in turn be used to characterize the rheology of a dilute suspension of elastic particles in a shear flow. When applied to a suspension of cylindrical particles with initially circular cross-section, the theory confirms the existence of steady-state solutions, which can be given simple analytical expressions. The two-dimensional, steady-state solutions for the particle shape and orientation, as well as for the effective viscosity and normal stress differences in the suspension, are in excellent agreement with direct numerical simulations of multiple-particle dispersions in a shear flow obtained by using an arbitrary Lagrangian–Eulerian (ALE) finite element method (FEM) solver. The corresponding solutions for the evolution of the microstructure and the rheological properties of suspensions of initially spherical (three-dimensional) particles in a simple shear flow are also obtained, and compared with the results of Roscoe (J. Fluid Mech., vol. 28, 1967, pp. 273–293) in the steady-state regime. Interestingly, the results show that sufficiently soft elastic particles can be used to reduce the effective viscosity of the suspension (relative to that of the pure fluid).

The mechanism of solid particle atomization by strong shear flow inside a narrow gap between a still disk and a rapidly rotating disk of a new beadless disperser called SS5 is clarified. We show that the solid particles rotate at the same rate as fluid particles, that is the angular velocity is a half of the vorticity using a equipment consisting of a rotating cylinder inside a cylindrical vessel, instead of rotating disks. The cavitation is shown to occur inside the gap and the mechanism of atomization of solid particles is considered to be due to the cavitation collapse. The cavitation generation is also considered to be promoted by the rapid rotation of the particles due to the strong shear and also by the pressure drop due to the centrifugal force driven by the rotation of the disk.

Morphological evolution of a transparent model succinonitrile (SCN) material during solidification was investigated in an apparatus resembling a shearing-disc viscometer. The in situ microscopic observations showed that fragmentation decreased the average particles size, but did not result in transition of dendritic to spherical morphology. At low shear rates, the degenerated dendrites and at high shear rates, the pseudo-cluster morphology was observed. It was revealed that coarsening has the most important effect on the final morphology of solid particles. The quantitative influences of shearing rate and intensity on the size and morphology of solid crystals were also discussed based on the measurements on the microstructures.

A particle imaging measurement of granular particles was applied to fluidized and suspended solid particles involved in steady and unsteady shear flows. In this measurement, 42% sodium iodide solution was used as a fluid medium to coincide the refraction index with the transparent bed material (silica gel). Therefore, the vertical distributions of the granular velocity and turbulent behavior within the bed can be measured by tracking the dyed particles mixed with the bed material. The turbulent kinetic energy in the fluidized layer and particle concentration can also be measured using this technique. The turbulence developed over the bed disturbed the bed material, and as a result the surface particles were lifted and suspended. The underlying mechanism of fluidization and suspension of the sediment seabed in complex turbulent shear flow is believed to be understood through further parametric studies based on the present imaging technique.

All naturally occurring and most man-made solid particles are nonspherical. Examples include air-pollutants in the nano- to micro-meter range as well as blood constituents, drug particles, and industrial fluid-particle streams. Focusing on the modeling and simulation of inhaled aerosols, theories for both spherical and nonspherical particles are reviewed to analyze the contrasting transport and deposition phenomena of spheres and equivalent spheres versus ellipsoids and fibers.
