Papermaking is to a large extent a multiphase flow process in which the structure of the
material and many of the relevant properties of the final product are determined by the …

In this review, we provide a theoretical introduction to Jeffery's equations for the orientation
dynamics of an axisymmetric object in a flow at low Reynolds number, and review recent …

We consider the rotation of neutrally buoyant axisymmetric particles suspended in isotropic
turbulence. Using laboratory experiments as well as numerical and analytical calculations …

We derive an effective equation of motion for the orientational dynamics of a neutrally
buoyant spheroid suspended in a simple shear flow, valid for arbitrary particle aspect ratios …

An open question that has persisted for decades is whether the cytoskeleton of a red blood
cell is stress-free or under a stress. This question is important in the context of theoretical …

An axisymmetric particle sedimenting in an otherwise quiescent Newtonian fluid, in the
Stokes regime, retains its initial orientation. For the special case of a spheroidal geometry …

In this article, we investigate the motion of a solid spheroid particle in a simple shear flow.
Using a lattice Boltzmann method, we examine individual effects of fluid inertia and particle …

Many numerical studies have considered the dynamics of capsules and red blood cells in
shear flow under the condition that the axis of revolution of such bodies remained aligned in …

We consider the rotation of small neutrally buoyant axisymmetric particles in a viscous
steady shear flow. When inertial effects are negligible the problem exhibits infinitely many …

We examine the dynamics of small anisotropic particles (spheroids) sedimenting through
homogeneous isotropic turbulence using direct numerical simulations and theory. The …
