Hydrodynamic interactions between a sphere and a number of small particles.

چکیده
Exact expressions are derived for the pair and three-body hydrodynamic interactions between a sphere and a number of small particles immersed in a viscous incompressible fluid. The analysis is based on the Stokes equations of low Reynolds number hydrodynamics. The results follow by a combination of the solutions for flow about a sphere with no-slip boundary condition derived by Stokes and Kirchhoff and the result derived by Oseen for the Green tensor of Stokes equations in the presence of a fixed sphere.

Many - Sphere Hydrodynamic Interactions 1 I . Mobilities at Finite Frequencies
A well-known problem in low Reynolds number hydrodynamics 1) is to calculate the hydrodynamic interactions between spherical particles moving in a fluid, as its solution is necessary for understanding the properties of suspensions. While the first treatment of such hydrodynamic interactions dates from 1911 when Smoluchowski 2) analysed the hydrodynamic friction between two spherical particles, ...
متن کاملUnsteady Free Convection from a Sphere in a Porous Medium with Variable Surface Temperature
In this paper a transient free convection flow around a sphere with variable surface temperature and embedded in a porous medium has been considered. The temperature of the sphere is suddenly raised and subsequently maintained at values that varies with position on surface. The method of asymptotic expansions is applied for small Rayleigh numbers and then a finite-difference scheme is used to s...
متن کاملHydrodynamic and brownian fluctuations in sedimenting suspensions.
We use a mesoscopic computer simulation method to study the interplay between hydrodynamic and Brownian fluctuations during steady-state sedimentation of hard sphere particles for Peclet numbers (Pe) ranging from 0.1-15. Even when the hydrodynamic interactions are an order of magnitude weaker than Brownian forces, they still induce backflow effects that dominate the reduction of the average sed...
متن کاملCan the History Force be Neglected for the Motion of Particles at High Subcritical Reynolds Number Range?
In the present work, the motion of metallic and plastic particles of 5 mm diameter falling in a quiescent fluid is investigated experimentally. The goal of this investigation is to examine the effect of history force acting on a particle in a range of Reynolds numbers between 1000 and 5000. The instantaneous position of the particle was recorded using a high - speed camera (500 to 1000 frames p...
متن کاملHydrodynamic interactions of spherical particles in Poiseuille flow between two parallel walls
We study hydrodynamic interactions of spherical particles in incident Poiseuille flow in a channel with infinite planar walls. The particles are suspended in a Newtonian fluid, and creeping-flow conditions are assumed. Numerical results, obtained using our highly accurate Cartesian-representation algorithm Physica A 356, 294 2005 are presented for a single sphere, two spheres, and arrays of man...
