N2 - In this paper, the inertial migration of particles in a periodic straight channel is studied numerically based on the immersed boundary-lattice Boltzmann method in two-dimensional and three-dimensional Poiseuille flow. In the model, on considering the inertial migration of particles, the interaction of a soft particle and a hard particle that are similar in size is studied. We observe an interesting particle interaction phenomenon named the binding focusing state (BFS). That is, when the focused soft particle gets close to the hard particle, both particles will switch their original runways, and then run together on a new equilibrium position. To investigate the characteristics of the BFS, the effects of the soft particle deformability, the Reynolds numbers and the initial particle positions on the BFS are studied in detail. The soft particle deformability and Reynolds numbers can affect the formation of the BFS. Moreover, the streamline and pressure around the particles are analyzed to show the formation laws of the BFS; this is more intuitive and aids in understanding the BFS.
