Abstract:Migration of a particle in a confined shear flow of Giesekus fluids is investigated numerically with the method of direct forcing/fictitious domain. We focus on the migration direction for the particle with initial lateral position y0 and determination of critical point yc of a particle moving towards the center line or wall. The effect of viscosity ratio μr, shear-thinning parameter α, Weissenberg number Wi, and blocking rate β on the value yc is analyzed. The results showed that when μr ≤ 0.5, the particle w… Show more
