The physics of journal self-citation Open
Purpose This study explores the implications of low journal self-citation rate (LJSCR). While some interpret LJSCR as a sign that a journal’s authors do not cite each other’s work, others see it as a mark of prestige, reflecting greater re…

The growth-adjusted impact factors of <i>Physics of Fluids</i> Open
From Phan-Thien and Giacomin [“Growth-adjusted impact factor,” Phys. Fluids 36, 050402 (2024)], we learn that journal growth decreases impact factor (all else being held equal). In this Editorial, we apply the teachings of Phan-Thien and G…

Lopsided Rigid Dumbbell Rheology from Langevin Equation: A Graduate Tutorial Open
The modelling of symmetric rigid dumbbell particles suspended in a Newtonian fluid, as a model of a rigid-rod polymeric solution, has been accomplished exclusively through the diffusion equation, which has been detailed elegantly by Bird e…

Shear thinning of non-Brownian suspensions and its variation at different ambient conditions Open
Immiscible contaminants are commonly involved in naturally occurring suspensions. The resulting variations in their flow behavior have rarely been evaluated. Here, we investigate the variation in the viscosity of an oil-based two-phase sus…

Simulation Study on the Sediment Dispersion during Deep-Sea Nodule Harvesting Open
During the harvesting of polymetallic nodules on the seabed, the sediment plume due to disturbance on the seabed impacts the benthic ecosystem. A numerical simulation based on the SPH (smooth particle hydrodynamics) method is used to estim…

Special issue on the lattice Boltzmann method Open
As computer hardware and numerical algorithms are quickly developing at a phenomenal rate, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is playing a more important role in the investigation of fluid flows.The conventional CFD solvers are to solve Na…

Cellular Blood Flow Modeling with Smoothed Dissipative Particle Dynamics Open
Computational modeling and simulation of cellular blood ow is highly desirable for understanding blood microcirculation and blood-related diseases, such as anemia, thrombosis and tumor, but it remains a challenge because the blood requires…

A microstructure model for viscoelastic–thixotropic fluids Open
A microstructure model to describe the viscoelasticity and thixotropy properties of complex fluids is proposed. The model is based on the Lodge–Yamamoto network theory and is an extension of the Phan-Thien–Tanner model, with a kinetic proc…

On permeability of corrugated pore membranes Open
Ceramic membranes have great potential for water treatment and filtering applications. However, one of the drawbacks of ceramic membrane filtration is its low permeability due to small functioning nanometer pore size. Increasing the membra…
View article: Rheological behavior for laponite and bentonite suspensions in shear flow
Rheological behavior for laponite and bentonite suspensions in shear flow Open
The viscometric behavior of laponite and bentonite suspensions at different concentrations in shear flow is studied. It is discovered that in the equilibrium state, a master curve of viscosity can be constructed when the applied shear stre…

A theoretical study of permeability enhancement for ultrafiltration ceramic membranes with conical pores and slippage Open
Ceramic membranes are currently favourable in membrane filtration applications due to their excellent mechanical strength, thermal and chemical resistance, backflush capability, and thus a long-service cycle. Coated on top of a mesoporous …

A rheological constitutive model for semiconcentrated rod suspensions in Bingham fluids Open
A rheological constitutive law is developed for a suspension of rigid rods in a Bingham fluid for volume fractions ranging up to the semiconcentrated regime. Based on a cell model approach, which allows expressing the shear stress on the p…
