Rotne-Prager-Yamakawa approximation is one of the most commonly used methods of including hydrodynamic interactions in modelling of colloidal suspensions and polymer solutions. The two main merits of this approximation is that it includes all long-range terms (i.e. decaying as R^-3 or slower in interparticle distances) and that the diffusion matrix is positive definite, which is essential for Brownian dynamics modelling. Here, we extend the Rotne-Prager-Yamakawa approach to include both translational and rotational degrees of freedom, and derive the regularizing corrections to account for overlapping particles. Additionally, we show how the Rotne-Prager-Yamakawa approximation can be generalized for other geometries and boundary conditions.

We consider waves radiated by a disturbance of oscillating strength moving at constant velocity along the free surface of a shear flow which, when undisturbed, has uniform horizontal vorticity of magnitude $S$. When no current is present the problem
is a classical one and much studied, and in deep water a resonance is known to occur when $tau=|boldsymbol{V}|omega_0/g$ equals the critical value $1/4$ ($boldsymbol{V}$: velocity of disturbance, $omega_0$: oscillation frequency, $g$: gravitational acceleration). We show that the presence of the sub-surface shear current can change this picture radically. Not only does the resonant value of $tau$ depend strongly on the angle between $boldsymbol{V}$ and the currents direction and the shear-Froude number $mathrm{Frs}=|boldsymbol{V}|S/g$; when $mathrm{Frs}>1/3$, multiple resonant values --- as many as $4$ --- can occur for some directions of motion. At sufficiently large values of $mathrm{Frs}$, the smallest resonance frequency tends to zero, representing the phenomenon of critical velocity for ship waves. We provide a detailed analysis of the dispersion relation for the moving, oscillating disturbance, in both finite and infinite water depth, including for the latter case an overview of the different far-field waves which exist in different sectors of wave vector space under different conditions. Owing to the large number of parameters, a detailed discussion of the structure of resonances is provided for infinite depth only, where analytical results are available.
We analyze transient dynamics during shear start-up in viscoelastic flows between two parallel plates, with a specific focus on the signatures for the onset of transient shear banding using the Johnson-Segalman, non-stretching Rolie-Poly and Giesekus
models. We explore the dynamics of shear start-up in monotonic regions of the constitutive curves using two different methodologies: (i) the oft-used `frozen-time linear stability (eigenvalue) analysis, wherein we examine whether infinitesimal perturbations imposed on instantaneous stress components (treated as quasi steady states) exhibit exponential growth, and (ii) the more mathematically rigorous fundamental-matrix approach that characterizes the transient growth via a numerical solution of the time-dependent linearized governing equations, wherein the linearized perturbations co-evolve with the start-up shear flow. Our results reinforce the hitherto understated point that there is no universal connection between the overshoot and subsequent decay of shear stress in the base state and the unstable eigenvalues obtained from the frozen-time stability analysis. It may therefore be difficult to subsume the occurrence of transient shear banding during shear start-up within the ambit of a single model-independent criterion. Our work also suggests that the strong transients during shear start-up seen in earlier work could well be a consequence of consideration of the limit of small solvent viscosity in the absence of otherwise negligible terms such as fluid inertia.
In a shear flow particles migrate to their equilibrium positions in the microchannel. Here we demonstrate theoretically that if particles are inertial, this equilibrium can become unstable due to the Saffman lift force. We derive an expression for th
e critical Stokes number that determines the onset of instable equilibrium. We also present results of lattice Boltzmann simulations for spherical particles and prolate spheroids to validate the analysis. Our work provides a simple explanation of several unusual phenomena observed in earlier experiments and computer simulations, but never interpreted before in terms of the unstable equilibrium.
Multiphase shear flows often show banded structures that affect the global behavior of complex fluids e.g. in microdevices. Here we investigate numerically the banding of emulsions, i.e. the formation of regions of high and low volume fraction, alter
nated in the vorticity direction and aligned with the flow (shear bands). These bands are associated with a decrease of the effective viscosity of the system. To understand the mechanism of banding experimentally observed we have performed interface resolved simulations of the two-fluid system. The experiments were perfomed starting with a random distribution of droplets which, under the applied shear, evolves in time resulting in a phase separation. To numerically reproduce this process, the banded structures are initialized in a narrow channel confined by two walls moving in opposite direction. We find that the initial banded distribution is stable when droplets are free to merge and unstable when coalescence is prevented. In this case, additionally, the effective viscosity of the system increases, resembling the rheological behavior of suspensions of deformable particles. Droplets coalescence, on the other hand, allows emulsions to reduce the total surface of the system and hence the energy dissipation associated to the deformation, which in turn reduces the effective viscosity.
To understand the behavior of composite fluid particles such as nucleated cells and double-emulsions in flow, we study a finite-size particle encapsulated in a deforming droplet under shear flow as a model system. In addition to its concentric partic
le-droplet configuration, we numerically explore other eccentric and time-periodic equilibrium solutions, which emerge spontaneously via supercritical pitchfork and Hopf bifurcations. We present the loci of these solutions around the codimenstion-two point. We adopt a dynamical system approach to model and characterize the coupled behavior of the two bifurcations. By exploring the flow fields and hydrodynamic forces in detail, we identify the role of hydrodynamic particle-droplet interaction which gives rise to these bifurcations.
