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…

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…
