Non-buoyant microplastics (MPs) sink through the marine water column, adversely affecting
the ecosystem. The manner in which MPs influence the water environment depends to a …

Microplastic pollution has been confirmed in all marine compartments. However, information
on the sub-surface microplastics (MPs) abundance is still limited. The vertical distribution of …

The flow properties are essential to understanding the mechanism of the working fluid and
its effect on energy transmission. This study examines the rheological properties of …

When an immiscible oil drop is immersed in a stably stratified ethanol–water mixture, the
Marangoni flow on the surface of the drop can experience an oscillatory instability, so that …

Organisms often swim through density-stratified fluids. Here, we investigate the dynamics of
active particles swimming in fluid density gradients and report theoretical evidence of taxis …

The concept of added mass is generalized to stratified fluids, accounting for the presence of
internal waves. Once the added mass of a moving body is known, so is the hydrodynamic …

The oscillations of buoyant bodies in stratified fluids are deduced from the variations of their
added mass. Three configurations are considered: a body displaced from its neutral level …

We study numerically a spherical particle settling through a density transition layer at
moderate Reynolds numbers Re u= 69∼ 259 for the upper fluid. We investigate how the …

This paper examines the rigid body motion of a spheroid sedimenting in a Newtonian fluid
with a spatially varying viscosity field. The fluid is at zero Reynolds number, and the viscosity …

This study proposes a numerical model for particulate three-phase flow in microchannels
based on multiphase lattice Boltzmann method (LBM). The model combines the color …
