A new method of accurate calculation of the coefficient of viscosity of a test liquid from experimentally measured terminal velocity of a ball falling in the test liquid contained in a narrow tube is described. The calculation requires the value of a multiplicative correction factor to the apparent coefficient of viscosity calculated by substitution of terminal velocity of the falling ball in Stokes formula. This correction factor, the so-called viscosity ratio, a measure of deviation from Stokes limit, arises from non-vanishing values of the Reynolds number and the ball/tube radius ratio. The method, valid over a very wide range of Reynolds number, is based on the recognition of a relationship between two measures of wall effect, the more widely investigated velocity ratio, defined as the ratio of terminal velocity in a confined medium to that in a boundless medium and viscosity ratio. The calculation uses two recently published correlation formulae based on extensive experimental results on terminal velocity of a falling ball. The first formula relates velocity ratio to Reynolds number and ball-tube radius ratio. The second formula gives an expression of the ratio of the drag force actually sensed by the ball falling in an infinite medium to that in the Stokes limit as a function of Reynolds number alone. It is shown that appropriate use of this correction factor extends the utility of the technique of falling ball viscometry beyond the very low Reynolds number creepy flow regime, to which its application is presently restricted. Issues related to accuracy are examined by use of our own measurements of the terminal velocity of a falling ball in a narrow tube and that of published literature reports, on liquids of known viscosity coefficient.

The settling dynamics of falling spheres inside a Laponite suspension is studied. Laponite is a colloidal synthetic clay that shows physical aging in aqueous suspension due to the spontaneous evolution of inter-particle electrostatic interactions. In
our experiments, millimeter-sized steel balls are dropped in aqueous Laponite suspensions of different ages (i.e., time elapsed since sample preparation). The motion of the falling balls are captured using a high-speed camera and the velocities of their centroids are estimated from the images. Interestingly, we observe that balls of larger diameters fail to achieve terminal velocity over the entire duration of the experiment. We propose a mathematical model that accounts for rapid structural changes (expected to be induced by the falling ball) in Laponite suspensions whose aging time scales are much slower than the time of fall of the ball. For a range of ball sizes and Laponite suspension ages, our model correctly predicts the time-dependence of the ball velocity. Furthermore, fits to our model allow us to estimate the rates of destructuring of the thixotropic suspensions due to the passage of the falling ball.
We make time resolved velocity measurements of steel spheres in free fall through liquid using a continuous ultrasound technique. We explore two different ways to induce large changes in drag on the spheres: 1) a small quantity of viscoelastic polyme
r added to water and 2) altering the surface of the sphere. Low concentration polymer solutions and/or a pattern of grooves in the sphere surface induce an early drag crisis, which may reduce drag by more than 50 percent compared to smooth spheres in pure water. On the other hand, random surface roughness and/or high concentration polymer solutions reduce drag progressively and suppress the drag crisis. We also present a qualititative argument which ties the drag reduction observed in low concentration polymer solutions to the Weissenberg number and normal stress difference.
A small and light polystyrene ball is released without initial speed from a certain height above the floor. Then, it falls on air. The main responsible for the friction force against the movement is the wake of successive air vortices which form behi
nd (above) the falling ball, a turbulent phenomenon. After the wake appears, the friction force compensates the Earth gravitational attraction and the ball speed stabilises in a certain limiting value Vl. Before the formation of the turbulent wake, however, the friction force is not strong enough, allowing the initially growing speed to surpass the future final value Vl. Only after the wake finally becomes long enough, the ball speed decreases and reaches the proper Vl.
A thin liquid film falling on a uniformly heated horizontal plate spreads into fingering ripples that can display a complex dynamics ranging from continuous waves, nonlinear spatially localized periodic wave patterns (i.e. rivulet structures) to modu
lated nonlinear wavetrain structures. Some of these structures have been observed experimentally, however conditions under which they form are still not well understood. In this work we examine profiles of nonlinear wave patterns formed by a thin liquid film falling on a uniformly heated horizonal plate. In this purpose, the Benney model is considered assuming a uniform temperature distribution along the film propagation on the horizontal surface. It is shown that for strong surface tension but relatively small Biot number, spatially localized periodic-wave structures can be analytically obtained by solving the governing equation under appropriate conditions. In the regime of weak nonlinearity, a multiple-scale expansion combined with the reductive perturbation method leads to a complex Ginzburg-Landau equation, the solutions of which are modulated periodic pulse trains which amplitude, width and period are expressed in terms of characteristic parameters of the model.
In this video, we present the dynamics of an array of falling particles at intermediate Reynolds numbers. The film shows the vorticity plots of 3, 4, 7, 16 falling particles at $Re = 200$. We highlight the effect of parity on the falling configuratio
n of the array. In steady state, an initially uniformly spaced array forms a convex shape when $n=3$, i.e the middle particle leads, but forms a concave shape when $n = 4$. For larger odd numbers of particles, the final state consists of a mixture of concave and convex shapes. For larger even numbers of particles, the steady state remains a concave shape. Below a threshold of initial particle spacing, particles cluster in groups of 2 to 3.
