U.S.-UK Dissertation Enhancement: Project Employing 3-Dimensional PIV to Study Particle Sedimentation and Migration

0309459哈里森这个为期一年的国际论文增强项目奖涉及贾里德塔图姆，克莱姆森大学格雷厄姆哈里森的研究生。 目的是派Tatum先生到克兰菲尔德大学学习三个月，学习三维粒子图像测速法的基本原理，并将这一新技术应用于非牛顿流体力学的研究。 他的博士论文是哈里森博士和N。克兰菲尔德大学的J·劳森。 他们正在使用光学技术来实验性地研究颗粒在平面垂直壁存在的情况下通过三种不同流体的沉积和迁移。 采用了三种不同的测试流体：牛顿参考流体（Tatum先生的研究主题），剪切稀化聚合物溶液和恒定（剪切）粘度弹性液体。目标是识别导致和导致粒子异常运动的流场特征。这项拟议的合作研究计划将促进美国研究生的培养和发展。 他将在克兰菲尔德大学学习新颖的光学技术并使用先进的设备。

0309459HarrisonThis one-year award for an international dissertation enhancement project involves Jared Tatum, a graduate student of Graham Harrison of Clemson University. The objective is to send Mr. Tatum to Cranfield University for a three-month period to learn the fundamentals of three-dimensional particle image velocimetry (PIV) and apply this new technique to research in non-Newtonian fluid mechanics. His doctoral thesis is part of a larger US-UK cooperative research project between Dr. Harrison and Dr. N. J. Lawson at Cranfield University. They are using optical techniques to experimentally investigate particle sedimentation and migration through three different fluids in the presence of a plane, vertical wall. Three different test fluids are being employed: a Newtonian reference fluid (the subject of Mr. Tatum's research), a shear-thinning polymer solution, and a constant (shear) viscosity elastic liquid. The goal is to identify the characteristics of the flow field that lead to and result from unusual motions of particles.This proposed cooperative research program will advance the training and development of an US graduate student. He will learn novel optical techniques and have access to advanced equipment at Cranfield University.
