Settling of chiral particles in a turbulent flow
Mees M. Flapper, John E. Sader, Detlef Lohse +1
Chiral particles are experimentally investigated while settling inwater with various turbulence intensity levels. The locations and orientations of the particles are tracked over t…
Chiral Particles in Taylor-Couette Turbulence
Mees M. Flapper, Detlef Lohse, Sander G. Huisman
This work investigates chiral particles, which break mirror symmetry, in turbulent Taylor--Couette flow. These particles generally display a translation-rotation coupling moving th…
Settling dynamics of an oloid: experiments and simulations
Mees M. Flapper, Giulia Piumini, Roberto Verzicco +2
This study presents a combined experimental and computational investigation of an oloid shaped particle settling in a quiescent fluid. The oloid, a unique convex shape with anisotr…
Multi-camera orientation tracking method for anisotropic particles in particle-laden flows
Mees M. Flapper, Elian Bernard, Sander G. Huisman
A method for particle orientation tracking is developed and demonstrated specifically for anisotropic particles. Using (high-speed) multi-camera recordings of anisotropic particles…
