The forces on rigid particles moving in relation to fluid having been studied and the equation of modifications of their expressions under different flow conditions discussed, a general form of equation for discrete particles' motion in arbitrary flow field is obtained. The mathematical features of the linear form of the equation are clarified and analytical solution of the linearized equation is gotten by means of Laplace transform. According to above theoretical results, the effects of particles' properties on its motion in several typicalflow field are studied, with some meaningful conclusions being reached.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
