Gravitational motion of a two-particle cluster between two parallel plane solid walls

International audienceThe slow viscous settling migration of a 2-particule cluster between two solid and parallel plane walls is investigated by resorting to a Boundary Element Method. The procedure, valid for arbitrarily-shaped bodies, is presented and preliminary numerical results for both identical spheres and a spheroid-sphere cluster are discussed. © 2005 Académie des sciences.
