Non-Spherical Particles and Aggregates in Fluid Flows

June 17, 2013 — June 21, 2013 Coordinators: Cristian Marchioli (Università di Udine, Italy) Federico Toschi (Eindhoven University of Technology, The Netherlands) Dynamics of non-spherical particles and aggregates in fluid flow are encountered both in nature and in industrial applications. Examples for non-spherical particles include airborne solid particles or aerosols, carbon nanotubes, micro-organisms like phytoplankton, […]

The apparent simplicity of the equations describing the motion of simple fluids contrasts with the beautiful complexity of turbulence. Fluid dynamics is clearly important to our daily life: we drive, navigate […]
