The motion of an inertial particle in a viscous streaming flow of Reynolds number order 10 is
investigated theoretically and numerically. The streaming flow created by a circular cylinder …

It is known that, in a linear shear flow, fluid inertia causes a particle to spin more slowly than
the surrounding fluid. The present experiments performed with a sphere with fixed centre …

We numerically analyze the rotation of a neutrally buoyant spheroid in a shear flow at small
shear Reynolds number. Using direct numerical stability analysis of the coupled nonlinear …

A freely rotating sphere in a solid-body rotating flow is experimentally investigated. When the
sphere is buoyant, it reaches an equilibrium position from which drag and lift coefficients are …

Centrifugal rotation is one of the most important techniques for separating and purifying
particles or cells, which enables broad applications in biomedicine and chemistry. To study …

The dynamics of a small rigid spherical particle in an unbounded pulsating vortex is
considered, keeping constant the particle Stokes number, turning the vortex core either into …

Dynamics of a solid particle and non-deformable gaseous bubble in viscous fluid are
studied analytically and numerically within the framework of creeping flow regime (flow at …

We consider small oscillations of micro-particles and gaseous bubbles in a viscous fluid
around equilibrium states under the action of a sinusoidal external force. Exact solutions to …

In ordinary centrifugation, a suspended particle that is heavier than the displaced fluid
migrates away from the rotation axis when the fluid-filled container rotates steadily about that …

The arbitrary motion of a solid sphere released in a solid-body rotating fluid is investigated
theoretically in the limit of small Reynolds and Taylor numbers. The angular velocity of the …
