Rheology near jamming - the influence of lubrication forces
, 2014 We study, by computer simulations, the role of different dissipation forces on the rheological properties of highly-dense particle-laden flows. In particular, we are interested in the close-packing limit (jamming) and the question if "universal ...

Advanced Functional Materials for Marine Energy Utilization
Interdisciplinary Materials, EarlyView.Marine renewable energy is an important future clean energy supply. We construct and sort out the material system for marine energy capture and conversion, transmission, storage, and utilization for the first time. ABSTRACT Several features of marine energy, including large reserves, sustainable utilization, environmental friendliness, make it a ...

Hydrodynamic interactions of spherical particles in Poiseuille flow between two parallel walls
, 2005 We study hydrodynamic interactions of spherical particles in incident Poiseuille flow in a channel with infinite planar walls. The particles are suspended in a Newtonian fluid, and creeping-flow conditions are assumed.

Effect of Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles From Infant Formula Milk Powder on Colon Cells In Vitro
Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Zinc is an essential trace element that participates in numerous metabolic processes; however, excessive exposure may interfere with the absorption of other metals, such as copper. In recent years, nanotechnology has experienced rapid growth, and zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) have garnered significant attention due to their versatile ...

Mechanics of a gaseous film barrier to lubricant wetting of elastohydrodynamically lubricated conjunctions [PDF]
Two analytical models, one based on simple hydrodynamic lubrication and the other on soft elastohydrodynamic lubrication, are presented and compared to delineate the dominant physical parameters that govern the mechanics of a gaseous film between a small

Gait alterations increase friction of degenerated articular cartilage: A tribological study
Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.Abstract Purpose To investigate the effect of gait alterations associated with osteoarthritis (OA) on the frictional properties of porcine articular cartilage (AC) in intact and degenerative conditions. Methods Forty‐eight cylindrical AC samples were harvested from 12 porcine femur condyles and equally divided between four groups with n = 12 samples ...

Suspensions of prolate spheroids in Stokes flow. Part 2. Statistically homogeneous dispersions [PDF]
, 1993 The simulation method for prolate spheroids in Stokes flow introduced in a companion paper (Claeys & Brady 1993a) is extended to handle statistically homogeneous unbounded dispersions.

Passive hydrodynamic synchronization of two-dimensional swimming cells
, 2010 Spermatozoa flagella are known to synchronize when swimming in close proximity. We use a model consisting of two-dimensional sheets propagating transverse waves of displacement to demonstrate that fluid forces lead to such synchronization passively ...
