The Lagrangian approach is utilized to model solid particle trajectories. The interaction between solid particles and the fluid that carries them is accounted for by a source term in the momentum equation for the fluid. The force‐coupling method (FCM), developed by M.R. Maxey and his group, is adopted; in this method the momentum source term is no longer a Dirac delta function but is spread on a numerical mesh by using a finite‐sized envelop with a spherical Gaussian distribution. The influence of inter‐particle and particle–wall collisions is also taken into account.

This behavior is attributed to the formation of filaments and clusters between the discontinuous gold films. Control experiments are performed by self-assembly of insulating molecules between the gold islands and conducting molecules on these islands. Additional control experiments are performed by removing the filaments and clusters between islands using a piranha bath. The results are consistent with theoretical predictions and extend the domain of molecular electronics based in organic molecules to include nanosized clusters as active units. This facilitates a scenario where synthetically accessible organic molecules, with defined characteristics, can be adjusted by metallic nanoclusters as an in situ fine-tuning element, able to compensate for the lack of addressing in the nanosize regime.}, number={7}, journal={JOURNAL OF NANOSCIENCE AND NANOTECHNOLOGY}, author={Seminario, JM and Ma, YF and Agapito, LA and Yan, LM and Araujo, RA and Bingi, S and Vadlamani, NS and Chagarlamudi, K and Sudarshan, TS and Myrick, ML and et al.}, year={2004}, month={Sep}, pages={907–917} } @article{kuznetsov_cheng_xiong_2003, title={Investigation of turbulence effects on forced convection in a composite porous/fluid duct: Constant wall flux and constant wall temperature cases}, volume={39}, ISSN={["1432-1181"]}, DOI={10.1007/S00231-002-0377-9}, number={7}, journal={HEAT AND MASS TRANSFER}, author={Kuznetsov, A and Cheng, L and Xiong, M}, year={2003}, month={Jul}, pages={613–623} } @article{kuznetsov_cheng_xiong_2002, title={Effects of thermal dispersion and turbulence in forced convection in a composite parallel-plate channel: Investigation of constant wall heat flux and constant wall temperature cases}, volume={42}, ISSN={["1040-7782"]}, DOI={10.1080/10407780290059602}, abstractNote={In this article, a composite parallel-plate channel whose central portion is occupied by a clear fluid and whose peripheral portion is occupied by a fluid saturated porous medium, is considered. The flow in the porous region of the channel is assumed to be laminar, governed by the Brinkman-Forchheimer-extended Darcy equation, while the flow in the clear fluid region of the channel is assumed to be turbulent. The validity of this laminar/turbulent assumption is validated by estimating Reynolds numbers in the clear fluid and porous regions of the channel. Although the flow in the porous region remains laminar, it is still fast enough for the quadratic drag (Forchheimer) effects to be important. In this situation, hydrodynamic mixing of the interstitial fluid at the pore scale becomes important and may cause significant thermal dispersion. It is shown that thermal dispersion may result in some counterintuitive effects, such as the increase of the Nusselt number when the width of the clear fluid region in the center of the channel is decreased.}, number={4}, journal={NUMERICAL HEAT TRANSFER PART A-APPLICATIONS}, author={Kuznetsov, AV and Cheng, L and Xiong, M}, year={2002}, month={Sep}, pages={365–383} }
