Laminar flow over a bubble mattress is expected to experience a significant reduction in friction since the individual surfaces of the bubbles are shear-free. However, if the bubbles are sufficiently curved, their protrusion into the fluid and along the flow direction can lead to an increase in friction as was recently demonstrated experimentally and computationally. We provide in this paper a simple model for this result. We consider a shear flow at low Reynolds number past a two-dimensional array of bubbles, and calculate analytically the effective slip length of the surface as function of the bubble geometry in the dilute limit. Our model is able to reproduce quantitatively the relationship between effective friction and bubble geometry obtained in numerical computations, and in particular: (a) The asymmetry in friction between convex and concave bubbles, and (b) the existence of a geometric transition from reduced to enhanced friction at a critical bubble protrusion angle.
The steady motion and deformation of a lipid-bilayer vesicle translating through a circular tube in low Reynolds number pressure-driven flow are investigated numerically using an axisymmetric boundary element method. This fluid-structure interaction
When suspended particles are pushed by liquid flow through a constricted channel they might either pass the bottleneck without trouble or encounter a permanent clog that will stop them forever. However, they may also flow intermittently with great se
We introduce a general decomposition of the stress tensor for incompressible fluids in terms of its components on a tensorial basis adapted to the local flow conditions, which include extensional flows, simple shear flows, and any type of mixed flows
The physics of foams and emulsions has traditionally been studied using bulk foam/emulsion tests and single film platforms such as the Scheludko cell. Recently there has been a renewed interest in a third class of techniques that we term as single bu
The geometric phase techniques for swimming in viscous flows express the net displacement of a swimmer as a path integral of a field in configuration space. This representation can be transformed into an area integral for simple swimmers using Stokes
