Direct simulation of the motion of neutrally buoyant balls in a three-dimensional Poiseuille flow

Abstract In a previous article the authors introduced a Lagrange multiplier based fictitious domain method. Their goal in the present article is to apply a generalization of the above method to: (i) the numerical simulation of the motion of neutrally buoyant particles in a three-dimensional Poiseuille flow; (ii) study – via direct numerical simulations – the migration of neutrally buoyant balls in the tube Poiseuille flow of an incompressible Newtonian viscous fluid. Simulations made with one and several particles show that, as expected, the Segre–Silberberg effect takes place. To cite this article: T.-W. Pan, R. Glowinski, C. R. Mecanique 333 (2005).
