Structure and dynamics of dilute suspensions of finite-Reynolds-number settling fibers

Mansoo Shin, Donald L. Koch, and Ganesh Subramanian<br/> Many-fiber simulations and a linear stability analysis are used to explore the structure and dynamics that arise in a dilute suspension of sedimenting slender fibers with finite particle Reynolds numbers. Dynamic simulations based on a slender-body treatment of the fibers coupled with a pseudospectr … [Phys. Fluids 21, 123304 (2009)] published Wed Dec 23, 2009.
