Abstract:
      The sedimentation of two particles is studied by using the lattice Boltzmann method in the range of Reynolds number of 5 ≤ Re ≤ 12.The focus of this work is to study the effect of particle density difference k on the periodic motion of the particles.It is shown that there are three types of settling behavior according to Re.the amplitude of oscillation decreases as k increases when Re is small,while the opposite is true when Re is large.In addition,there exists a narrow range of Re within which we can observe both of the above-mentioned periodic states.Furthermore,the steady state of the particles is also studied,as well as the conditions under which the denser particle leaves the lighter one behind.
