U-shaped disks in Stokes flow: Chiral sedimentation of a non-chiral particle

Christian Vaquero-Stainer, Tymoteusz Miara, Anne Juel +2

We study the sedimentation of U-shaped circular disks in the Stokes limit of vanishing inertia. We simulate the flow past such disks using a finite-element-based solution of the 3D…
