A Numerical Investigation of Different Behavioral Regimes of the Free-Falling Solid Objects in Laponite Suspension

In this paper, we have numerically examined models that are capable of describing free falling regimes of a rigid sphere in a thixotropic fluid as Laponite. By simultaneously solving the dynamical equations governing both sphere and fluid systems, different regimes referred to in the experimental me...
