A Numerical Study of Particle Migration and Sedimentation in Viscoelastic Couette Flow

In this work, a systematic investigation of the migration of sedimenting particles in a viscoelastic Couette flow is presented, using finite element 3D simulations. To this end, a novel computational approach is presented, which allows us to simulate a periodic configuration of rigid spherical parti...
