The motion, settling, and dispersion of microplastics in the ocean are determined by their
rotational dynamics. We present experiments on elongated, large aspect ratio, and mildly …

The present work investigates the mechanical behaviour of finite-size, elastic and inertial
fibres freely moving in a homogeneous and isotropic turbulent flow at moderate Reynolds …

非球形颗粒两相流是多相流的重要研究方向之一, 常见于自然界及工业生产过程中.
不同于球形颗粒, 由于非球形颗粒形状的各向异性, 除了颗粒**动行为, 还需要考虑颗粒的转动与 …

The alignment between the inertialess spheroids and the directions of the fluid Lagrangian
stretching or compression is sensitive to the particles shape near the wall but not near the …

Non-spherical particle-laden flows are commonly seen and important in nature and
industrial processes. The particle's rotational and orientational behaviors could affect the …

Long, flexible fibers transported by a turbulent channel flow sample nonlinear variations of
the fluid velocity along their length. As the fibers tumble and collide with the boundaries, they …

Particle tracking in large-scale numerical simulations of turbulent flows presents one of the
major bottlenecks in parallel performance and scaling efficiency. Here, we describe a …

Planktonic microorganisms play a fundamental role in oceanic ecology and chemical cycles.
Different planktonic species are found at various levels of the oceanic trophic chain, ranging …

A Lagrangian perspective has yielded many new insights in our quest to reveal the
intricacies of turbulent flows. Much of this progress has been possible by following the …
