Nonlocal flow sampling enables vortex trapping of heavy particles
Sachin Kulkarni, Sumithra R. Yerasi, Vishwanath Kadaba Puttanna +3
Most analyses of inertial particle motion in vortical flows rely on the point-particle approximation, in which the fluid velocity is assumed to be linear at the scale of the partic…

Spirographic motion in a vortex
Sumithra Reddy Yerasi, Rama Govindarajan, Dario Vincenzi
Studies of particle motion in vortical flows have mainly focused on point-like particles, either inertial or self-propelled. This approximation assumes that the velocity field that…
