Development Of A Coupled Fluid And Colloidall Particle Transport Model, Scott Ripplinger
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
A colloidal system usually refers to when very small particles are suspended within a solution. The study of these systems encompasses a variety of cases including bacteria in ground water, blood cells and platelets in blood plasma, and river silt transport. Taking a look at these kinds of systems using computer simulation can provide a great deal of insight into how they work. Most approaches to date do not look at the details of the system, however, and are specific to given system. In this study a program called OpenFOAM is used as a basis to build a computer simulation …
