Nonlinearity in finite-Reynolds-number flow results in particle migration transverse to fluid streamlines, producing the well-known "tubular pinch effect" in cylindrical pipes. Here we investigate these nonlinear effects in highly confined systems where the particle size approaches the channel dimensions. Experimental and numerical results reveal distinctive dynamics, including complex scaling of lift forces with channel and particle geometry. The unique behavior described in this Letter has broad implications for confined particulate flows.
有限雷诺数流动中的非线性会导致颗粒横向于流体流线迁移,在圆柱形管道中产生著名的“管状挤压效应”。在此,我们研究颗粒尺寸接近通道尺寸的高度受限系统中的这些非线性效应。实验和数值结果揭示了独特的动力学特性,包括升力随通道和颗粒几何形状的复杂标度关系。本论文所述的独特行为对受限颗粒流具有广泛影响。
