Fig. 36. The spatial variation of agglomerate sizes in simulations of erosion in the journal bearing flow. Initially there are 10000 agglomerates consisting of 400-500 aggregates. The grey scale represents the number of aggregates in the agglomerates, (a) Poorly mixed flow after four periods, (b) Well-mixed flow after one period (Hansen, el al. 1998).

Fig. 38. Variation of polydispersity with average cluster size at short times in a journal bearing flow. The symbols are from simulations and the lines are fits from Eq. (82). The regular flow is the journal bearing flow with only the inner cylinder rotating (Hansen and Ottino, 1996b).

In the first of these approaches, early work concentrated on simulations in Cartesian coordinates [D2, K6-K8, W19] reminiscent of journal bearing theory. More recently these activities have concentrated on cylindrical coordinate formulations [D3, H20-H22) essentially based on solving the set of equations...
