Turbulent diffusivity and effective rise velocity of buoyant particles in a free-surface boundary layer
Julio E. Chávez-Dorado, Lucia J. Baker, James J. Riley +1
Predicting the transport of buoyant particles in a free-surface boundary layer is important to the study of many environmental systems, including microplastics in the upper ocean.…

Experimental study of inertial particles clustering and settling in homogeneous turbulence
Alec J. Petersen, Lucia Baker, Filippo Coletti
We study experimentally the spatial distribution, settling, and interaction of sub-Kolmogorov inertial particles with homogeneous turbulence. Utilizing a zero-mean-flow air turbule…
