A Study of Resuspended Particles from a Line Bed at the Wall of a Fluid Flow. Statistical Aspects

A statistical analysis of the dynamic behaviour of a bed of particles on the wall of a fluid flow is presented. By applying the different forces acting on each particle, i.e. fluid forces, adhesion to the wall and autohesion forces, conditions needed to obtain possible motions are determined and motions of the last downstream particle are described. It is shown that, above a critical value, increasing flow rate will promote the re-entrainment process along the wall, whereas increasing adhesion and autohesion forces will maintain the line bed stationary. Moreover, in some circumstances, starting particles execute some small jumps before rolling and/or sliding along the wall, which reduces the residence time of the particle on the wall. These results confirms some published hypotheses.     

Ponderomotive nongradient force acting on a relativistic particle crossing an inhomogeneous electromagnetic wave

The ponderomotive force acting on a relativistic charged particle crossing an inhomogeneous electromagnetic wave is investigated numerically and analytically. The initial velocity of the particle is perpendicular to the electric field vector of the wave and to the direction of its propagation. The wave has zero gradient in the direction of propagation and is inhomogeneous in both transverse directions. It is shown that the ponderomotive force acting on the particle is parallel to the wave vector. The magnitude of the force is determined not only by the extent of wave inhomogeneity in the direction of the translational motion of particle, but also by its inhomogeneity in the transverse direction. It is found that the trajectory of a particle is determined by the action of ponderomotive forces as well as by its drift in a nonuniform field.

Scattering forces and electromagnetic momentum density in crossed circularly polarized standing waves

We analyze the forces on a small dipolar particle and the electromagnetic momentum density in a configuration consisting in two perpendicular circularly polarized stationary waves. The field distribution shows regions in which the electric and magnetic fields are parallel corresponding to a null Poynting vector. Although the average value of the momentum density, proportional to the Poynting vector, is zero in these regions, there are scattering forces acting on small particles due to light's spin force. The total scattering force suggests a new definition of the average value of the momentum density for free propagating electromagnetic fields.

Finite-temperature Casimir effect in piston geometry and its classical limit

We consider the Casimir force acting on a d-dimensional rectangular piston due to a massless scalar field with periodic, Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions and an electromagnetic field with perfect electric-conductor and perfect magnetic-conductor boundary conditions. The Casimir energy in a rectangular cavity is derived using the cut-off method. It is shown that the divergent part of the Casimir energy does not contribute to the Casimir force acting on the piston, thus renders an unambiguously defined Casimir force acting on the piston. At any temperature, it is found that the Casimir force acting on the piston increases from −∞ to 0 when the separation a between the piston and the opposite wall increases from 0 to ∞. This implies that the Casimir force is always an attractive force pulling the piston towards the closer wall, and the magnitude of the force gets larger as the separation a gets smaller. Explicit exact expressions for the Casimir force for small and large plate separations and for low and high temperatures are computed. The limits of the Casimir force acting on the piston when some pairs of transversal plates are large are also derived. An interesting result regarding the influence of temperature is that in contrast to the conventional result that the leading term of the Casimir force acting on a wall of a rectangular cavity at high temperature is the Stefan–Boltzmann (or black-body radiation) term which is of order T ^d+1, it is found that the contributions of this term from the two regions separating the piston cancel with each other in the case of piston. The high-temperature leading-order term of the Casimir force acting on the piston is of order T, which shows that the Casimir force has a nontrivial classical ℏ→0 limit. Explicit formulas for the classical limit are computed.     

Self-consistent nonlinear resonance and hysteresis of a charged microparticle in a RF sheath

A self-consistent model is proposed to study nonlinear phenomena, such as secondary resonance and hysteresis in the vertical oscillations of a charged microparticle in a radio-frequency sheath. The motion of a single microparticle in the sheath is simulated by solving Newton's equation in which various forces acting on the particle are taken into account. The particle charging and the sheath electric field are described by a self-consistent model of the collisional radio-frequency sheath dynamics. It is found that the nonlinearity is related to the particle's charge, the sheath electric field, and the external excitation force, as well as the ion drag force and neutral-gas friction on the particle.     

The radial force on a charged particle in superimposed magnetic fields on Schwarzschild spacetime

Following the approach of optical reference geometry we derive the expression for the total force in the radial direction acting on a charged particle in magnetic fields superimposed on the static Schwarzschild background and show the possible existence of bound orbits for particles in the field of ultra compact objects at distancesr?3m wherein the Lorentz force counterbalances both the gravitational and centrifugal forces.     

Measuring a colloidal particle's interaction with a flat surface under nonequilibrium conditions

A new and general approach is proposed to analyze the dynamics of a colloidal particle interacting with a nearby wall. This analysis can be used to determine the acting forces even when the system is non-stationary. As an illustration, we use total internal reflection microscopy to investigate the forces acting on a polystyrene sulfate latex particle as it is receding from a charged glass surface.

Moment and forces exerted on the inner cylinder in eccentric annular flow

This paper presents results of numerical modeling for analysis of the moment and forces exerted on an eccentrically positioned rotating inner cylinder due to the annular flow between two cylinders with parallel axes. Laminar stationary fully developed flows of Newtonian and power law fluid flows are considered. An impact of annulus geometry, flow regime, and fluid characteristics are studied. The study indicates that the moment exerted on the inner cylinder increases monotonically with the eccentricity. Forces acting on the inner cylinder include pressure and viscous friction. The pressure forces provide a predominant contribution. When eccentricity does not exceed a certain critical value, the radial force pushes the inner cylinder to the channel wall. When eccentricity is large enough, the radial force reverses its sign, and the inner cylinder is pushed away from the outer wall. Circumferential component of the force has always the same direction and induces precession of the inner cylinder.     

Microparticle column geometry in acoustic stationary fields

Particles suspended in a fluid will experience forces from stationary acoustic fields. The magnitude of the force depends on the time-averaged energy density of the field and the material properties of the particles and fluid. Forces acting on known particles smaller than 20 microm were studied. Within a 500 kHz acoustic beam generated by a plane-piston circular source, observations were made of the geometry of the particle column that is formed. Varying the acoustic energy altered the column width in a manner predicted by equations for the primary acoustic radiation force from scattering of particles in the long-wavelength limit. The minimum pressures required to trap gas, solid, and liquid particles in a water medium at room temperature were also estimated to within 12%. These results highlight the ability of stationary acoustic fields from a plane-piston radiator to impose nano-Newton-scale forces onto fluid particles with properties similar to biological cells, and suggest that it is possible to accurately quantify these forces.     

Fluctuation-induced electromagnetic interaction of a moving particle with a plane surface

The most general (nonrelativistic) formulas for the force of attraction to the surface and for the drag of a nonrelativistic atom moving parallel to it, as well as for the lateral and normal forces acting on a moving dipole molecule and on a charged particle (in the case of parallel and perpendicular motion), are derived for the first time in the framework of the fluctuational electromagnetic theory. The dependences of these forces on the velocity, temperature, separation, and dielectric properties of the atom and the surface are derived. The effect of the nondissipative resonance interaction between a moving neutral atom and the field of surface plasmons, as well as the possible emergence of a positive (accelerating) force acting on the atom (nanoprobe), is substantiated theoretically. The role of dynamic fluctuational forces and their possible experimental measurement when using the quartz microbalance technique and an atomic-force microscope (in the dynamic mode), as well as during deceleration of atomic beams in open nanotubes, are considered. The correctness of the obtained results is confirmed by their agreement with most of the available theoretical relations derived by other authors.     

Localization of Spherical Particles under the Action of Gradient Forces in the Field of a Zero-Order Bessel Beam. Rayleigh–Gans Approximation

The amplitude of the gradient force acting on a transparent spherical particle in the field of a zero-order Bessel beam has been calculated in the Rayleigh–Gans approximation. The expression obtained for the gradient-force amplitude takes into account the heterogeneity of the acting radiation in the volume of the particle. The optimal conditions of trapping and transportation of the particle (parameters of the particle, liquid, and of the Bessel beam) to the localization region have been determined using the solution of the kinetic equation of particle motion in a liquid. It is shown that for certain relationships between the particle radius and the Bessel beam width the localization region is shifted relative to the central maximum of the beam. This is due to the equal action of the gradient forces caused by the central maximum and the first interference ring of the Bessel beam. A qualitative comparison of the results obtained with the known experimental data has been performed.     

Calculation and optical measurement of laser trapping forces on non-spherical particles

Optical trapping, where microscopic particles are trapped and manipulated by light is a powerful and widespread technique, with the single-beam gradient trap (also known as optical tweezers) in use for a large number of biological and other applications. The forces and torques acting on a trapped particle result from the transfer of momentum and angular momentum from the trapping beam to the particle. Despite the apparent simplicity of a laser trap, with a single particle in a single beam, exact calculation of the optical forces and torques acting on particles is difficult. Calculations can be performed using approximate methods, but are only applicable within their ranges of validity, such as for particles much larger than, or much smaller than, the trapping wavelength, and for spherical isotropic particles. This leaves unfortunate gaps, since wavelength-scale particles are of great practical interest because they are readily and strongly trapped and are used to probe interesting microscopic and macroscopic phenomena, and non-spherical or anisotropic particles, biological, crystalline, or other, due to their frequent occurance in nature, and the possibility of rotating such objects or controlling or sensing their orientation. The systematic application of electromagnetic scattering theory can provide a general theory of laser trapping, and render results missing from existing theory. We present here calculations of force and torque on a trapped particle obtained from this theory and discuss the possible applications, including the optical measurement of the force and torque.     

The method of images for regularized Stokeslets

The image system for the method of regularized Stokeslets is developed and implemented. The method uses smooth localized functions to approximate a delta distribution in the derivation of the fluid flow due to a concentrated force. In order to satisfy zero-flow boundary conditions at a plane wall, the method of images derived for a standard (singular) Stokeslet is extended to give exact cancellation of the regularized flow at the wall. As the regularization parameter vanishes, the expressions reduce to the known images for singular Stokeslets. The advantage of the regularized method is that it gives bounded velocity fields even for isolated forces or for distributions of forces along curves. These are useful in the simulation of ciliary beats, flagellar motion, and particle suspensions. The expression relating force and velocity can be inverted to find the forces that generate a given velocity boundary condition. The latter is exemplified by modeling a cilium as a filament moving in a three-dimensional flow. The cilium velocity at various times is constructed from known data and used to determine the force field along the filament. Those forces can then reproduce the flow everywhere. The validity of the method is evaluated by computing the drag on a sphere moving near a wall. Comparisons with known expressions for the drag show that the method gives accurate results for spheres even within a distance from the wall equal to the surface discretization size.
