Turbulent fluid acceleration generates clusters of gyrotactic microorganisms
Filippo De Lillo, Massimo Cencini, William M. Durham +4
The motility of microorganisms is often biased by gradients in physical and chemical properties of their environment, with myriad implications on their ecology. Here we show that f…

Geotropic tracers in turbulent flows: a proxy for fluid acceleration
Guido Boffetta, Massimo Cencini, Filippo De Lillo +1
We investigate the statistics of orientation of small, neutrally buoyant, spherical tracers whose center of mass is displaced from the geometrical center. If appropriate-sized part…
