Abstract:
A numerical solution is presented for the motion of a neutrally buoyant circular cylinder in Poiseuille and Couette flows between two plane parallel boundaries. The force and torque on a stationary particle are calculated for a wide range of particle sizes and positions across the channel. The resistance matrix calculated in Ref. [1] (henceforth referred to as Part 1) is utilized to find the translational and angular velocity for a drag- and torque-free particle. The results are compared with analytical perturbation solutions for a small cylindrical particle situated on the channel centerline, and for the motion of a spherical particle in a circular tube or between plane parallel boundaries. It is found the behavior of flow around a cylindrical particle in a channel is qualitatively similar to the behavior of flow around a spherical particle in a tube, while the flow around a spherical particle in a channel frequently exhibits different trends from the above two cases.
