Lift on a sphere in shear flow near flat channel bed
The lift and drag forces exerting on a sphere immersed in a shear flow above a flat channel bed are evaluated by solving the steady three-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations. The numerical technique which combines the Newton iteration method and the finite element method is used to solve the non-lin...
