Inertial rotation of a small oblate spheroid in a simple shear flow
Ziqi Wang, Xander M. de Wit, Davide Di Giusto +5
We compare experiments and fully-resolved particle simulations designed to match the experimental conditions of a weakly inertial, neutrally buoyant, moderately oblate spheroid in…

The deformation of a flexible fiber settling in a quiescent viscous fluid
Benjamin Marchetti, Veronica Raspa, Anke Lindner +4
The equilibrium state of a flexible fiber settling in a viscous fluid is examined using a combination of macroscopic experiments, numerical simulations and scaling arguments. We id…
