A colloidal suspension clogs model pores. Microstructure of the near-wall layer of colloids is studied. That reveals a transition inside the clog from amorphous to crystalline organisation. It can be related to a competition between drag forces and electrostatic repulsion.

This paper provides a discussion of several aspects of the construction of approaches that combine statistical (Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes, RANS) models with large eddy simulation (LES), with the objective of making LES an economically viable method for predicting complex, high Reynolds number turbulent flows. The first part provides a review of alternative approaches, highlighting their rationale and major elements. Next, two particular methods are introduced in greater detail: one based on coupling near-wall RANS models to the outer LES domain on a single contiguous mesh, and the other involving the application of the RANS and LES procedures on separate zones, the former confined to a thin near-wall layer. Examples for their performance are included for channel flow and, in the case of the zonal strategy, for three separated flows. Finally, a discussion of prospects is given, as viewed from the writer's perspective.

This paper discusses specific features of the interactions of small-diameter liposomes with the cytoplasmic membrane of endothelial cells using in silico methods. The movement pattern of the liposomal drug delivery system was modeled in accordance with the conditions of the near-wall layer of blood flow. Our simulation results show that the liposomes can become stuck in the intercellular gaps and even break down when the gap is reduced. Liposomes stuck in the gaps are capable of withstanding a shell deformation of ~15% with an increase in liposome energy by 26%. Critical deformation of the membrane gives an impetus to drug release from the liposome outward. We found that the liposomes moving in the near-wall layer of blood flow inevitably stick to the membrane. Liposome sticking on the membrane is accompanied by its gradual splicing with the membrane bilayer. This leads to a gradual drug release inside the cell.

Unsteady separation processes at large finite, Reynolds number, Re, are considered, as well as the possible relation to existing descriptions of boundary-layer separation in the limit Re → ∞. The model problem is a fundamental vortex-driven three-dimensional flow, believed to be relevant to bursting near the wall in a turbulent boundary layer. Bursting is known to be associated with streamwise vortex motion, but the vortex/wall interactions that drive the near-wall flow toward breakdown have not yet been fully identified. Here, a simulation of symmetric counter-rotating vortices is used to assess the influence of sustained pumping action on the development of a viscous wall layer. The calculated solutions describe a three-dimensional flow at finite Re that is independent of the streamwise coordinate and consists of a crossflow plane motion, with a developing streamwise flow. The unsteady problem is constructed to mimic a typical cycle in turbulent wall layers and numerical solutions are obtained over a range of Re. Recirculating eddies develop rapidly in the near-wall flow, but these eddies are eventually bisected by alleyways which open up from the external flow region to the wall. At sufficiently high Re, an oscillation was found to develop in the streamwise vorticity field near the alleyways with a concurrent evolution of a local spiky behaviour in the wall shear. Above a critical value of Re, the oscillation grows rapidly in amplitude and eventually penetrates the external flow field, suggesting the onset of an unstable wall-layer breakdown. Local zones of severely retarded streamwise velocity are computed which are reminiscent of the low-speed streaks commonly observed in turbulent boundary layers. A number of other features also bear a resemblance to observed coherent structure in the turbulent wall layer.

ABSTRACTNanoparticles are used in chemical mechanical planarization for semiconductor manufacturing as well as in other precision manufacturing operations. Particles used in processing need to be removed from surfaces in order to enhance yields. Nanoparticles are difficult to remove from surfaces during cleaning due to the high van der Waals attractive forces between particles and surfaces relative to the low fluid drag forces that are used for typical removal methods. Ionic surfactant molecules can adsorb on particles and surfaces to create an electrostatic repulsion between particles and surfaces as well as provide a steric barrier to mitigate adsorption and adhesion. The effectiveness of the surfactant in enhancing particle removal is related to surfactant properties, and it can be correlated with and modeled relative to the critical micelle concentration of the surfactant. The general approach for modeling will be discussed, and the model will be compared with particle removal data.

Direct numerical simulations of unsteady channel flow were performed at low to moderate Reynolds numbers on computational boxes chosen small enough so that the flow consists of a doubly periodic (in x and z) array of identical structures. The goal is to isolate the basic flow unit, to study its morphology and dynamics, and to evaluate its contribution to turbulence in fully developed channels. For boxes wider than approximately 100 wall units in the spanwise direction, the flow is turbulent and the low-order turbulence statistics are in good agreement with experiments in the near-wall region. For a narrow range of widths below that threshold, the flow near only one wall remains turbulent, but its statistics are still in fairly good agreement with experimental data when scaled with the local wall stress. For narrower boxes only laminar solutions are found. In all cases, the elementary box contains a single low-velocity streak, consisting of a longitudinal strip on which a thin layer of spanwise vorticity is lifted away from the wall. A fundamental period of intermittency for the regeneration of turbulence is identified, and that process is observed to consist of the wrapping of the wall-layer vorticity around a single inclined longitudinal vortex.
