Hindered stokesian settling of discs and rods
Yating Zhang, Narayanan Menon
We report measurements of the mean settling velocities for suspensions of discs and rods in the stokes regime for a number of particle aspect ratios. All these shapes display ''hin…

Dynamics and clustering of sedimenting disc lattices
Harshit Joshi, Rahul Chajwa, Sriram Ramaswamy +2
Uniform arrays of particles tend to cluster as they sediment in viscous fluids. Shape anisotropy of the particles enriches these dynamics by modifying the mode-structure and the re…

Facilitating a 3D granular flow with an obstruction
Abhijit Sinha, Jackson Diodati, Narayanan Menon +2
Ensuring a smooth rate of efflux of particles from an outlet without unpredictable clogging events is crucial in processing powders and grains. We show by experiments and simulatio…
