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…

Viscoelastic Effects on the Hydrodynamics of an Active Compound Particle
KVS Chaithanya, Sumesh P. Thampi
Understanding the hydrodynamics of microswimmers in viscoelastic fluids and confined environments is crucial for interpreting their behaviour in natural settings and designing synt…
