In this article, we investigate the motion of a neutrally buoyant particle of an elliptic shape freely moving in two dimensional shear flow by direct numerical simulation. An elliptic shape particle in shear flow, when initially being placed at the middle between two walls, either keeps rotating or has a stationary inclination angle depending on the particle Reynolds number Re=Grra2/ν, where Gr is the shear rate, ra is the semi-long axis of the elliptic particle, and ν is the kinetic viscosity of the fluid. The critical particle Reynolds number Recr for the transition from a rotating motion to a stationary orientation depends on the aspect ratio AR = rb/ra and the confined ratio K = 2ra/H, where rb is the semi-short axis of the elliptic particle and H is the distance between two walls. Although the increasing of either parameters makes an increase in Recr, the dynamic mechanism is distinct. The AR variation causes the change of geometry shape; however, the K variation influences the wall effect. The stati...
