In this paper, we investigated the dynamics of a bubble rising inside ratchet channels filled
with viscoelastic liquids by means of volume-of-fluid-based direct numerical simulations. The …

For decades, it has been proven by numerous experiments and simulations that a single
bubble freely rises in an unstable path and shape in a surface tension force dominant …

In this paper, direct numerical simulations (DNS) are performed to investigate the inline rise
of a pair of three-dimensional (3D) air bubbles in a viscoelastic liquid using the volume-of …

In this paper, the behaviors of single bubble in shear-thinning viscoelastic fluids were
investigated using OpenFOAM. The volume-of-fluid method was used to capture the …

As computer hardware and numerical algorithms are quickly developing at a phenomenal
rate, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is playing a more important role in the investigation …

Recently, our direct numerical simulations [Yuan et al.,“Hydrodynamic interaction and
coalescence of two inline bubbles rising in a viscoelastic liquid,” Phys. Fluids 33, 083102 …

The simulation of viscoelastic liquids using the Lattice–Boltzmann method (LBM) in full three
dimensions remains a formidable numerical challenge. In particular the simulation of …

Despite growing interest in the focusing and manipulation of particles in non-Newtonian
fluids in confined flows, the combined effect of viscoelastic and shear-thinning effects on …

In this paper, the rise behaviors of Taylor bubbles are investigated in sudden/gradual tubes
filled with viscoelastic media via grid adaptive direct numerical simulations (DNS). The …
