Off-plane motion of an oblate capsule in a simple shear flow.
We investigate the mechanical equilibrium state of an oblate capsule when its revolution axis is initially off the shear plane. We consider an oblate capsule with an aspect ratio of 0.5 and a strain-hardening membrane. The three-dimensional fluid-structure interaction problem is solved numerically by coupling a finite element method with a boundary integral method. The capsule converges towards...
متن کاملA Numerical Study of Drop Motion in Poiseuille Flow
The cross-stream migration of a deformable drop in two-dimensional Poiseuille flow at finite Reynolds numbers is studied numerically. In the limit of a small Reynolds number (<1), the motion of the drop depends strongly on the ratio of the viscosity of the drop fluid to the viscosity of the suspending fluid. For a viscosity ratio 0.125, the drop moves toward the centre of the channe while for t...

متن کاملBuckling of a flush-mounted plate in simple shear flow
The buckling of an elastic plate with arbitrary shape flush-mounted on a rigid wall and deforming under the action of a uniform tangential load due to an overpassing simple shear flow is considered. Working under the auspices of the theory of elastic instability of plates governed by the linear von Kármán equation, an eigenvalue problem is formulated for the buckled state resulting in a fourth-...
متن کاملOff-plane motion of a prolate capsule in shear flow
The objective is to study the motion of an ellipsoidal capsule in a simple shear flow when its revolution axis is initially placed off the shear plane. We consider prolate capsules with an aspect ratio of 2 or 3 enclosed by a membrane, which is either strain-hardening or strain-softening. We seek the equilibrium motion of the capsule as we increase the capillary number Ca, which measures the ra...
