Motion in stratified fluids

RV More, AM Ardekani - Annual Review of Fluid Mechanics, 2023 - annualreviews.org
Density stratification due to temperature or salinity variations greatly influences the flow
around and the sedimentation of objects such as particles, drops, bubbles, and small …

Added mass of oscillating bodies in stratified fluids

B Voisin - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2024 - cambridge.org
The concept of added mass is generalized to stratified fluids, accounting for the presence of
internal waves. Once the added mass of a moving body is known, so is the hydrodynamic …

Shape effects on the local dynamics of suspensions of spheroidal particles

J Lu, X Xu, S Zhong, R Ni, G Tryggvason - Physics of Fluids, 2024 - pubs.aip.org
The effect of shape on the dynamics of suspensions of non-spherical heavy particles is
examined by fully resolved numerical simulations of oblate and prolate spheroids, as well as …

Effect of layer thickness for the bounce of a particle settling through a density transition layer

S Wang, J Wang, J Deng - Physical Review E, 2023 - APS
We study numerically a spherical particle settling through a density transition layer at
moderate Reynolds numbers Re u= 69∼ 259 for the upper fluid. We investigate how the …

The high-Reynolds-number stratified wake of a slender body and its comparison with a bluff-body wake

JL Ortiz-Tarin, S Nidhan, S Sarkar - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2023 - cambridge.org
The high-Reynolds-number stratified wake of a slender body is studied using a high-
resolution hybrid simulation. The wake generator is a 6: 1 prolate spheroid with a tripped …

Sedimentation of spheroids in Newtonian fluids with spatially varying viscosity

V Anand, V Narsimhan - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2024 - cambridge.org
This paper examines the rigid body motion of a spheroid sedimenting in a Newtonian fluid
with a spatially varying viscosity field. The fluid is at zero Reynolds number, and the viscosity …

The dynamics of suspensions of prolate spheroidal particles—Effects of volume fraction

J Lu, X Xu, S Zhong, R Ni, G Tryggvason - International Journal of …, 2023 - Elsevier
The effect of volume fraction on the dynamics of a gravity driven suspension of prolate
spheroidal solid particles in a fully periodic domain is examined by fully resolved numerical …

Particle orientation distribution in a rotating, dilute suspension of rod-shaped particles

AA Dahlkild - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2023 - cambridge.org
We consider a theoretical model for the settling of rod-shaped particles of a dilute, initially
homogeneous, suspension in rapid rotation. The particle Reynolds number and the particle …

Pairwise interaction of in-line spheroids settling in a linearly stratified fluid

AM Abdal, L Kahouadji, S Shin, J Chergui, D Juric… - Acta Mechanica, 2024 - Springer
This study investigates the transport of particles in density-stratified fluids, a prevalent
natural phenomenon. In the ocean, particles and marine snow descend through fluids with …

S Okino - Physics of Fluids, 2023 - pubs.aip.org
The effects of the Schmidt number (Sc) on the flow past a sphere descending in a stratified
fluid are investigated using high-resolution numerical simulations over a wide range of Sc …
