Abstract Dynamics of a single particle suspended in a low-Reynolds-number fluid under spherical confinement was
studied numerically. We calculated hydrodynamic mobilities of a sphere, a prolate spheroid, and an oblate
spheroid parallel and transverse to particle-cavity line of centres. The mobilities show maximum in the
cavity centre and decay as the particle moves towards the no-slip wall. For prolate and oblate spheroids,
their mobilities are also affected by the angle between particle's axis of revolution and the particle-cavity
line of centres due to particle anisotropy. It was observed that the effect of particle anisotropy becomes
stronger… More >
