Importance of fluid inertia for the orientation of spheroids settling in turbulent flow
Muhammad Zubair Sheikh, Kristian Gustavsson, Diego Lopez +4
How non-spherical particles orient as they settle in a flow has important practical implications in a number of scientific and engineering problems. In a quiescent fluid, a slowly…

Theory for the effect of fluid inertia on the orientation of a small particle settling in turbulence
K. Gustavsson, M. Z. Sheikh, D. Lopez +3
Ice crystals settling through a turbulent cloud are rotated by turbulent velocity gradients. In the same way, turbulence affects the orientation of aggregates of organic matter set…
