Rheology of suspensions of viscoelastic spheres: deformability as an effective volume fraction

ME Rosti, L Brandt, D Mitra - Physical Review Fluids, 2018 - APS
We study suspensions of deformable (viscoelastic) spheres in a Newtonian solvent in plane
Couette geometry, by means of direct numerical simulations. We find that in the limit of …

[HTML][HTML] Shear-thinning and shear-thickening emulsions in shear flows

ME Rosti, S Takagi - Physics of Fluids, 2021 - pubs.aip.org
We study the rheology of a two-fluid emulsion in semiconcentrated conditions; the solute is
Newtonian while the solvent is an inelastic power-law fluid. The problem at hand is tackled …

Beyond Bagnold: rheological measurements of inertial suspensions

ML Hunt, R Zenit - International Journal of Multiphase Flow, 2024 - Elsevier
Since the seminal study by Bagnold in 1954, which was inspired by sand movement in the
desert and sediment transport in rivers, researchers have continued to investigate inertial …

Exact regularised point particle (ERPP) method for particle-laden wall-bounded flows in the two-way coupling regime

F Battista, JP Mollicone, P Gualtieri… - Journal of fluid …, 2019 - cambridge.org
The exact regularised point particle (ERPP) method is extended to treat the inter-phase
momentum coupling between particles and fluid in the presence of walls by accounting for …

Dip coating of bidisperse particulate suspensions

DH Jeong, MKH Lee, V Thiévenaz… - Journal of Fluid …, 2022 - cambridge.org
Dip coating consists of withdrawing a substrate from a bath to coat it with a thin liquid layer.
This process is well understood for homogeneous fluids, but heterogeneities, such as …

Suspensions of deformable particles in a Couette flow

ME Rosti, L Brandt - Journal of Non-Newtonian Fluid Mechanics, 2018 - Elsevier
We consider suspensions of deformable particles in a Newtonian fluid by means of fully
Eulerian numerical simulations with a one-continuum formulation. We study the rheology of …

Experimental investigation of turbulent suspensions of spherical particles in a square duct

S Zade, P Costa, W Fornari, F Lundell… - Journal of fluid …, 2018 - cambridge.org
We report experimental observations of turbulent flow with spherical particles in a square
duct. Three particle sizes, namely, however, occurs despite this large reduction of the …

Probing dissipation in spreading drops with granular suspensions

A Pelosse, É Guazzelli, M Roché - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2023 - cambridge.org
In this paper, we study the spreading of droplets of density-matched granular suspensions
on the surface of a solid. Bidispersity of the particle size distribution enriches the conclusions …

Inertial migration in dilute and semidilute suspensions of rigid particles in laminar square duct flow

HT Kazerooni, W Fornari, J Hussong, L Brandt - Physical review fluids, 2017 - APS
We study the inertial migration of finite-size neutrally buoyant spherical particles in dilute
and semidilute suspensions in laminar square duct flow. We perform several direct …

How confinement-induced structures alter the contribution of hydrodynamic and short-ranged repulsion forces to the viscosity of colloidal suspensions

M Ramaswamy, NYC Lin, BD Leahy, C Ness, AM Fiore… - Physical Review X, 2017 - APS
Confined systems ranging from the atomic to the granular are ubiquitous in nature.
Experiments and simulations of such atomic and granular systems have shown a complex …
