Exact solution for the motion of a rigid particle with and symmetry settling under gravity in a viscous fluid

Piotr Zdybel, Maria L. Ekiel-Jeżewska

We provide an exact and complete solution for the dynamics of a rigid particle of uniform density with and symmetry, settling under gravity in a viscous fluid at a R…

Experimental and numerical study of the dynamics of sedimenting pairs of semi-flexible fibers close to attractive `aligned' relative configuration

Harish N. Mirajkar, Chandra Shekhar, Yevgen Melikhov +2

Dynamics of two short semi-flexible fibers settling under gravity in a viscous fluid are investigated at Reynolds numbers Re << 1. We focus on fibers initially relatively close to…

Sedimenting rigid particles of certain shapes approach a stationary orientation

Chandra Shekhar, Harish Mirajkar, Piotr Zdybel +2

This work investigates experimentally and numerically the dynamics of rigid particles settling under gravity in a highly viscous fluid. We demonstrate that certain shapes: cones, c…

Dynamical modes of highly elastic loops settling under gravity in a viscous fluid

Yevgen Melikhov, Maria L. Ekiel-Jezewska

The settling of highly elastic non-Brownian closed fibres (called loops) under gravity in a viscous fluid is investigated numerically. The loops are represented using a bead-spring…

Spectral analysis for elastica 3-dimensional dynamics in a shear flow

Lujia Liu, Pawel Sznajder, Maria L. Ekiel-Jezewska

We present the spectral analysis of three-dimensional dynamics of an elastic filament in a shear flow of a viscous fluid at a low Reynolds number in the absence of Brownian motion.…

Scaling law for a buckled elastic filament in a shear flow

Pawel Sznajder, Piotr Zdybel, Lujia Liu +1

We analyze the three-dimensional buckling of an elastic filament in a shear flow of a viscous fluid at low Reynolds number and high Peclet number. We apply the Euler-Bernoulli beam…
