Density stratification due to temperature or salinity variations greatly influences the flow
around and the sedimentation of objects such as particles, drops, bubbles, and small …

This review article, dedicated to the bicentenary celebration of Sir George Gabriel Stokes'
birthday, presents the state-of-the-science of terminal fall velocity, highlighting his rich …

Microplastics fibers are abundant in aquatic environments and are an emerging
environmental threat. Understanding how fibers are transported in aquatic environments is …

Rigid or deformable bodies moving through continuously stratified layers or across sharp
interfaces are involved in a wide variety of geophysical and engineering applications, with …

In this study, xanthan gum is used as a model exopolymer to demonstrate potential effects of
non-Newtonian properties of natural aquatic systems on settling dynamics of particles …

Settling of non-spherical particles in a stratified fluid exhibits complex dynamics in a low-to-
moderate inertia regime. Although this process is involved in a wide variety of phenomena in …

We consider the unbounded settling dynamics of a circular disk of diameter becomes
smaller than some threshold value. Uncertainties in identifying the threshold value is …

Freely falling or rising objects in quiescent Newtonian fluid have been frequently
encountered in nature or industry, such as the spreading of seeds from a tree or the …

This work presents a numerical investigation of the dynamics of freely falling annular disks
released from still in infinite water. Based on the large eddy simulation, a dynamic fluid body …

Much work has been done to understand the settling dynamics of spherical particles in a
homogeneous and stratified fluid. However, the effects of shape anisotropy on the settling …
