Fluid inertial torque is an effective gyrotactic mechanism for settling elongated micro-swimmers
Jingran Qiu, Zhiwen Cui, Eric Climent +1
Marine plankton are usually modeled as settling elongated micro-swimmers. For the first time, we consider the torque induced by fluid inertia on such swimmers, and we discover that…
Effects of the quiescent core in turbulent channel flow on transport and clustering of inertial particles
Yucheng Jie, Helge I. Andersson, Lihao Zhao
The existence of a quiescent core (QC) in the center of turbulent channel flows was demonstrated in recent experimental and numerical studies. The QC-region, which is characterized…
Inertial torque on a small spheroid in a stationary uniform flow
F. Jiang, L. Zhao, H. I. Andersson +3
How anisotropic particles rotate and orient in a flow depends on the hydrodynamic torque they experience. Here we compute the torque acting on a small spheroid in a uniform flow by…
Alignment statistics of rods with the Lagrangian stretching direction in a channel flow
Z. Cui, A. Dubey, L. Zhao +1
In homogeneous isotropic turbulence, slender rods are known to align with the Lagrangian stretching direction. However, how the degree of alignment depends on the aspect ratio of t…
