The thermally induced flow field, in a rapidly rotating container consisting of a pair of coaxial cylinders bounded on the top and bottom by horizontal end plates, is considered. The top plate is heated and the bottom plate is cooled, both by small amounts, so that the thermal Rossby number is small, and the cylinders are supposed to be conductive. The induced velocity and temperature fields are determined by subdivision of the flow field; the equation for the central part, the inner core, is solved numerically as well as analytically.

The steady streaming (SS) phenomenon is gaining increased attention in the microfluidics community, because it can generate net mass flow from zero-mean vibration. We developed numerical simulation and experimental measurement tools to analyze this vibration-induced flow, which has been challenging due to its unsteady nature. The validity of these analysis methods is confirmed by comparing the three-dimensional (3D) flow field and the resulting particle trajectories induced around a cylindrical micro-pillar under circular vibration. In the numerical modeling, we directly solved the flow in the Lagrangian frame so that the substrate with a micro-pillar becomes stationary, and the results were converted to a stationary Eulerian frame to compare with the experimental results. The present approach enables us to avoid the introduction of a moving boundary or infinitesimal perturbation approximation. The flow field obtained by the micron-resolution particle image velocimetry (micro-PIV) measurement supported the three-dimensionality observed in the numerical results, which could be important for controlling the mass transport and manipulating particulate objects in microfluidic systems.

There have been several reports that suspending nano-particles in a fluid, or nanofluids, can enhance heat transfer properties such as conductivity. However, the extend of the reported enhancement is inconsistent in the literature and the exact mechanisms that govern these observations (or phenomena) are not fully understood. Although the interaction between the fluid and suspended particles is suspected to be the main contributor to this phenomenon, literature shows contradicting conclusions in the underlying mechanism responsible for these effects. This highlights the need for development of computational tools in this area. In this study, a computational approach is developed for simulating the induced flow field by randomly moving particles suspended in a quiescent fluid. Brownian displacement is used to describe the random walk of the particles in the fluid. The steady state movement is described with simplified Navier-Stokes equation to solve for the induced fluid flow around the moving particles with constant velocity at small time steps. The unsteady behavior of the induced flow field is approximated using the velocity profiles obtained from FLUENT. Initial results show that random movements of Brownian particles suspended in the fluid induce a random flow disturbance in the flow field. It is observed that the flow statistics converge asymptotically as time-step reduces. Moreover, inclusion of the transitional movement of the particles significantly affects the results.
