Shape, confinement and inertia effects on the dynamics of a driven spheroid in a viscous fluid
Aditya Bhowmik, Kevin Stratford, Oliver Henrich +1
The dynamics of anisotropic particles in viscous flows underpin a wide range of processes in soft matter, microfluidics, and targeted drug delivery. Here, we investigate the motion…

Simulating dynamics of ellipsoidal particles using lattice Boltzmann method
Sumesh P Thampi, Kevin Stratford, Oliver Henrich
Anisotropic particles are often encountered in different fields of soft matter and complex fluids. In this work, we present an implementation of the coupled hydrodynamics of solid…

Defect-influenced particle advection in highly confined liquid crystal flows
Magdalena Lesniewska, Nigel Mottram, Oliver Henrich
We study the morphology of the Saturn ring defect and director structure around a colloidal particle with normal anchoring conditions and within the flow of the nematic host phase…
