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…
Dynamics of swimming bacteria at complex interfaces
Diego Lopez, Eric Lauga
Flagellated bacteria exploiting helical propulsion are known to swim along circular trajectories near surfaces. Fluid dynamics predicts this circular motion to be clockwise (CW) ab…
Elastic turbulence in shear banding wormlike micelles
M. A. Fardin, D. Lopez, J. Croso +4
We study the dynamics of the Taylor-Couette flow of shear banding wormlike micelles. We focus on the high shear rate branch of the flow curve and show that for sufficiently high We…
