Settling of an asymmetric dumbbell in a quiescent fluid
F. Candelier, B. Mehlig
We compute the hydrodynamic torque on a dumbbell (two spheres linked by a massless rigid rod) settling in a quiescent fluid at small but finite Reynolds number. The spheres have th…
The role of inertia for the rotation of a nearly spherical particle in a general linear flow
F. Candelier, J. Einarsson, F. Lundell +2
We analyse the angular dynamics of a neutrally buoyant nearly spherical particle immersed in a steady general linear flow. The hydrodynamic torque acting on the particle is obtaine…
Effect of weak fluid inertia upon Jeffery orbits
J. Einarsson, F. Candelier, F. Lundell +2
We consider the rotation of small neutrally buoyant axisymmetric particles in a viscous steady shear flow. When inertial effects are negligible the problem exhibits infinitely many…
Rotation of a spheroid in a simple shear at small Reynolds number
J. Einarsson, F. Candelier, F. Lundell +2
We derive an effective equation of motion for the orientational dynamics of a neutrally buoyant spheroid suspended in a simple shear flow, valid for arbitrary particle aspect ratio…
