Title: Sedimentation and separation of a bidispersed system Description: 3D direct numerical simulation of the separation of two types of rigid spherical particles (21,336 in total) in a viscous fluid. The densities of the two components are 20% higher/lower than the fluid density. The simulation is done with a finite-element, fictitious domain technique and is run on a cluster of 80 processors. The initial configuration is a layered close packing with a distance between centroids of 1.1. The type of the particle at each position is selected randomly. Credits: Shi Jin, P. Minev and K.
