Tuning particle settling in fluids with magnetic fields

F Cabrera-Booman, N Plihon, RB Cal, M Bourgoin - Experiments in Fluids, 2024 - Springer
A magnetic field is generated to modify the effective gravity acting on settling particles in a
laboratory experiment. When applied to a magnetized spherical particle settling in water …

On the settling of a spherical particle in slightly perturbed ambient fluid

JM Catalán, M Moriche, O Flores, M García-Villalba - Acta Mechanica, 2024 - Springer
Direct numerical simulations of the settling of a spherical particle under the action of gravity
in a slightly perturbed ambient fluid have been performed. The ambient perturbations are …

Freely rising or falling of a sphere in a square tube at intermediate Reynolds numbers

D Nie, J Wang, S Li, J Lin - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2024 - cambridge.org
The motion of a sphere freely rising or falling in a 5d (d is the diameter of the sphere) square
tube was numerically studied for the sphere-to-fluid density ratio ranging from 0.1 to 2.3 …
