Preferential sampling enabled by particle finite size and anisotropic shape

Helena E. Schreder, Kartik Krishna, Steven L. Brunton +1

Anisotropic, finite-sized particles, common in environmental and industrial flows, exhibit complex dynamics distinct from those of small, spherical particles. Their shape introduce…
