Suspended clay and surfactants enhance buoyant microplastic settling

BR Sutherland, MS Dhaliwal, D Thai, Y Li… - … Earth & Environment, 2023 - nature.com
Most of the plastic waste that enters rivers and the oceans is unaccounted for. Approximately
half of the world's produced plastics are buoyant in water, meaning that processes must take …

A laboratory study of the effects of size, density, and shape on the wave‐induced transport of floating marine litter

R Calvert, A Peytavin, Y Pham… - Journal of …, 2024 - Wiley Online Library
Floating marine litter is transported by several mechanisms, including surface waves. In
studies of marine litter transport, the wave‐induced drift is set to be equal to the Stokes drift …

Helical ribbons: simple chiral sedimentation

E Huseby, J Gissinger, F Candelier, N Pujara… - arxiv preprint arxiv …, 2024 - arxiv.org
We investigate the sedimentation of chiral particles in viscous fluid flow. We identify helical
ribbons as simple particles with strong translation-rotation coupling whose symmetry …

[HTML][HTML] Impact of coagulation characteristics on the aggregation of microplastics in upper-ocean turbulence

Stokes drift and particle trajectories induced by surface waves atop a shear flow

Y Li, Z Zheng, H Kalisch - Frontiers in Marine Science, 2024 - frontiersin.org
Surface waves and currents are crucial to the mass transfer in the air-sea interaction as they
can drive a variety of dynamical processes. How mass can be transported by surface waves …

[HTML][HTML] Quantitative study of microplastic degradation in urban hydrosystems: Comparing in situ environmentally aged microplastics vs. artificially aged materials …

O Mostefaoui, Z Iannuzzi, D Lopez, E Mignot… - Journal of Hazardous …, 2025 - Elsevier
The degradation of plastic waste is a major research challenge due to the adverse impacts

Rising and settling 2-D cylinders with centre-of-mass offset

MPA Assen, JB Will, CS Ng, D Lohse… - Journal of Fluid …, 2024 - cambridge.org
Rotational effects are commonly neglected when considering the dynamics of freely rising or
settling isotropic particles. Here, we demonstrate that particle rotations play an important role …

[HTML][HTML] Size-Dependent Microplastic Fragmentation Model

V Pérez-Muñuzuri - Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2024 - mdpi.com
Plastic fragmentation alters the size distribution of plastic waste in aquatic habitats, which is
accelerated by mechanical stress and weathering degradation processes. Microplastic …
