Inertial bifurcation of the equilibrium position of a neutrally-buoyant circular cylinder in shear flow between parallel walls

The motion of a neutrally buoyant, rigid circular cylinder in simple shear flow of a Newtonian fluid between parallel walls is calculated for various particle Reynolds numbers, Re_{p}=Ga^{2}/ν, via the lattice Boltzmann method. Here, G is the velocity gradient of the ambient shear, a is the radius o...
