In particular the simulation of strongly shear-thinning fluids, where the ratio between the high-shear and low-shear viscosities is large, is often prevented by stability problems. Here we present a novel approach to overcome this issue. The central idea is to artificially increase the solvent viscosity which allows the method to benefit from the very good stability properties of the LBM. To compensate for this additional viscous stress, the polymer stress is reduced by the same amount. We apply this novel method to simulate two realistic cell carrier fluids, methyl cellulose and alginate solutions, of which the latter exhibits a viscosity ratio exceeding 10,000.</p>","PeriodicalId":50348,"journal":{"name":"International Journal for Numerical Methods in Fluids","volume":"97 2","pages":"164-187"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-10-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/fld.5335","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143113181","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Voronoi mesh is rapidly regenerated at each time step, allowing large deformations with topology changes. As opposed to the reconnection-based Arbitrary-Lagrangian-Eulerian schemes, we need no remapping stage. A semi-implicit scheme is devised in the context of moving Voronoi meshes to project the velocity field onto a divergence-free manifold.
