文摘A lattice Boltzmann model of two dimensions is used to simulate the movement of a single rigid particle suspended in a pulsating flow in micro vessel The particle is as big as a red blood cell, and the micro vessel is four times as wide as the diameter of the particle. It is found that Segrd-Silberberg effect will not respond to the pulsation of the flow when the Reynolds number is relatively high. However, when the Reynolds number is low enough, Segrd-Silberberg effect disappears. In the steady flow, different initial position leads to different equilibrium positions. In a pulsating flow, different frequencies of pulsation also cause different equilibrium positions. Particularly, when the frequency of pulsation is closed to the human heart rate, Segrd-Silberberg effect presents again. The evolutions of velocity, rotation, and trajectory of the particle are investigated to find the dynamics of such abnormal phenomenon.
