Mechanical Models of the Dynamics of Vitreous Substitutes

Figure 4

Velocity profiles in radial direction in the case in which the vitreous chamber contains two immiscible fluids.  𝑟=0 corresponds to the centre of the sphere and 𝑟=1 corresponds to the location of the wall. The velocity is normalized with the maximum velocity at the wall. The frequency of rotations is equal to 10 rad/s. Vitreous substitute 𝜇=1 Pa·s; water, 𝜇=0.001 Pa·s. (a) 𝑑=0.01𝑅 and (b) 𝑑=0.1𝑅.
