Abstract: We have performed numerical simulations of a monolayer of a bidisperse suspension of colloidal particles in a cylindrical Couette flow taking into account hydrodynamic interactions (HI). We compare our simulation results with a simple phenomenological model and obtain good agreement for the monodisperse case. For a bidisperse suspension, we also obtain a good agreement if the ratio of...

Improved detection efficiency and microdroplet sample introduction in single particle inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry allow for accurate sizing counting of nanoparticles suspension at the digit nm scale.

We propose a one-fluid analytical model for a turbulently flowing dilute suspension, based on a modified Navier-Stokes equation with a k-dependent effective density of suspension rho(eff)(k) and an additional damping term proportional, variant gamma(p)(k), representing the fluid-particle friction (described by Stokes law). The statistical description of turbulence within the model is simplified...

Title of dissertation: SEDIMENT SUSPENSION EVENTS FROM RIPPLE BEDS IN OSCILLATORY FLOW: EXPERIMENTS Philip Leland Knowles Doctor of Philosophy, 2009 Dissertation directed by: Associate Professor Kenneth T.

in this paper a survey to determine the spring and damper settings of itm285 tractor’s cabin which ensured optimal ride comfort of tractor operator was conducted. analysis has been done in terms of root mean square acceleration response (rmsar) in one-third-octave band and international standard organization (iso). optimization was performed using particle swarm optimization (pso) method on a 2...

The classical theory of Brownian motion applies to suspensions which are so dilute that each particle is effectively alone in infinite fluid. We consider here the modifications to the theory that are needed when rigid spherical particles are close enough to interact hydrodynamically. It is first shown that Brownian motion is a diffusion process of the conventional kind provided that the particl...

Purpose. MaQaid (MaQ) is a new triamcinolone acetonide commercialised in Japan to visualize the vitreous. Because MaQ is preservative-free, it has a lower risk of ocular toxicities. However, since MaQ is only available as a powder, it needs suspenssion. Suspension does not always result uniformally, which causes poor visibility. This study reports a new MaQ suspension for better visibility. Met...

We study nonlocal effects associated with particle collisions in dense suspension flows, in the context of the Affine Solvent Model, known to capture various aspects of the jamming transition. We show that an individual collision changes significantly the velocity field on a characteristic volume Ω_{c}∼1/δz that diverges as jamming is approached, where δz is the deficit in coordination number r...

Biocompatible hydroxyapatite nanocomposites are biocompatible, biodegradable and nontoxic have been paid many attentions as one of the most suitable vehicle for drug delivery use. Our objective in this work was to prepare and characterize caseins based HA nanocomposite in a colloidal form for drug delivery purposes. Casein biopolymer was firstly extracted from skimmed milk by adding acetic acid...
