Abstract
AbstractWe numerically study how rigid solid cylinders with a length over diameter aspect ratio of 10 settle through suspensions consisting of uniformly sized solid spheres and Newtonian liquid. We identify regimes with preference for horizontal settling and vertical settling of the cylinders dependent on the overall solids volume fraction (in the range of 0–0.58) and the Archimedes number of the cylinders. These insights we use to interpret the behavior of fluidized suspensions consisting of mixtures of spheres and cylinders with an emphasis on cylinder orientation distributions and slip velocities between solids and liquid phase. The three‐dimensional and time‐dependent simulations explicitly resolve the solid‐liquid interfaces by applying an immersed boundary method contained in a lattice‐Boltzmann flow solver.
