Suppression of Electroconvective and Morphological Instabilities by an Imposed Cross Flow of the Electrolyte
Gaojin Li, Alex Townsend, Lynden A. Archer +1
Electroconvection and its coupling with a morphological instability are important in many applications, including electrodialysis, batteries and fuel cells. In this work, we study…
Slender body theory for particles with non-circular cross-sections
Neeraj Sinai Borker, Donald L. Koch
This paper presents a theory to obtain the force per unit length acting on a slender filament with a non-circular cross-section moving in a fluid at low Reynolds number. Using a re…
Clustering of Rapidly Settling, Low-Inertia Particle Pairs in Isotropic Turbulence. II. Comparison of Theory and DNS
Sarma L. Rani, Rohit Dhariwal, Donald L. Koch
Part I of this study presented a stochastic theory for the clustering of monodisperse, rapidly settling, low-Stokes-number particle pairs in homogeneous isotropic turbulence. The t…
Clustering of Rapidly Settling, Low-Inertia Particle Pairs in Isotropic Turbulence. I. Drift and Diffusion Flux Closures
Sarma L. Rani, Vijay K. Gupta, Donald L. Koch
In this two--part study, we present the development and analysis of a stochastic theory for characterizing the relative positions of monodisperse, low-inertia particle pairs that a…
