TLDR
In this article, it was shown that a sphere moving through a very viscous liquid with velocity V relative to a uniform simple shear, the translation velocity being parallel to the streamlines and measured relative to streamline through the centre, experiences a lift force 81·2μVa2k½/v½ + smaller terms perpendicular to the flow direction, which acts to deflect the particle towards the streamline moving in the direction opposite to V.Abstract:
It is shown that a sphere moving through a very viscous liquid with velocity V relative to a uniform simple shear, the translation velocity being parallel to the streamlines and measured relative to the streamline through the centre, experiences a lift force 81·2μVa2k½/v½ + smaller terms perpendicular to the flow direction, which acts to deflect the particle towards the streamlines moving in the direction opposite to V. Here, a denotes the radius of the sphere, κ the magnitude of the velocity gradient, and μ and v the viscosity and kinematic viscosity, respectively. The relevance of the result to the observations by Segree & Silberberg (1962) of small spheres in Poiseuille flow is discussed briefly. Comments are also made about the problem of a sphere in a parabolic velocity profile and the functional dependence of the lift upon the parameters is obtained.read more

TL;DR: In this paper, the Euler-Euler simulations of a continuous-casting mold were performed to understand the sensitivity to different turbulence closure models [k-ɛ, shear stress transport (SST), Reynolds stress model (RSM), and large-eddy simulation (LES)] and different interfacial forces (drag, lift, virtual mass, wall lubrication, and turbulent dispersion).

Influence of the lift force in direct numerical simulation of upward/downward turbulent channel flow laden with surfactant contaminated microbubbles
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors employ direct numerical simulation of turbulence one-way coupled to Lagrangian tracking to investigate microbubble distribution in upward and downward channel flow, and show that bubble dispersion in the wall region is dominated by the action of gravity combined with the lift force.

Drag on a sphere in slow shear flow
TL;DR: In this paper, a general closed form for the mobility tensor of a sphere moving in a fluid in stationary homogeneous flow is derived using the induced force method up to the first order in the square root of the Reynolds number based on the velocity gradient of the unperturbed flow.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors quantify the hydrodynamic signals produced by turbulence and waves in four seascape types (surface zones, inlets and estuaries, the continental shelf, and the open ocean) using published dissipation rates, wind and wave data from buoys, and observations from two coastal sites in Massachusetts, USA.

TL;DR: In this paper, a numerical mixture model is used in order to resolve the two dimensional bubble plumes evolving along the electrodes, and a scaling law for plume thickness evolution for a large range of Prandtl-equivalent number values is proposed.

The transverse force on a spinning sphere moving in a viscous fluid
S. I. Rubinow,Joseph B. Keller +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the Stokes and Oseen expansions of the Oseen equation are used to calculate the transverse force of a spinning sphere in a viscous fluid, which is in such a direction as to account for the curving of a pitched baseball, the long range of a flying golf ball, etc.

The motion of rigid particles in a shear flow at low Reynolds number
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated how far the orbit of a particle of more general shape in a non-uniform shear in the presence of rigid boundaries may be expected to be qualitatively similar.

TL;DR: In this paper, the Navier-Stokes equation is replaced by a set of differential equations for the coefficients ψn and Ψn, but only one set of physical boundary conditions is applicable to each expansion (the no-slip conditions for the Stokes expansion, and the uniform-stream condition for the Oseen expansion).

TL;DR: In this article, the motions of single rigid spheres, rods, and discs, and of fluid drops suspended in liquids undergoing Poiseuille flow have been studied, with the exception of effects due to interaction with the wall and neglect of particle size, provided that the equivalent axis ratio re was used instead of the particle axis ratio rp.
