Rapidly yawing spheroids in viscous shear flow: emergent loss of symmetry by Dalwadi, M

“…We investigate the emergent three-dimensional (3D) dynamics of a rapidly yawing spheroidal swimmer interacting with a viscous shear flow. We show that the rapid yawing generates non axisymmetric emergent effects, with the active swimmer behaving as an effective passive particle with two orthogonal planes of symmetry. …”

Enhancing fouling mitigation of submerged flat-sheet membranes by vibrating 3D-spacers by Tan, Yong Zen, Mao, Ziming, Zhang, Yanjun, Tan, Wen See, Chong, Tzyy Haur, Wu, Bing, Chew, Jia Wei

“…In this study, we aimed to understand the effects of three dimensional (3D)-spacer configuration and their vibrating orientation on the extent of fouling mitigation in a submerged flat-sheet membrane microfiltration (MF) system. Several types of 3D-spacers were designed and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) was used to simulate the shear and turbulence along the membrane surface induced by vibrating 3D-spacers. …”
