Geometric phase of spheroidal particles in a fluid flow and its control

Fluid Dynamics 2021-04-13 v1

Abstract

We investigate the dynamics of spheroids immersed in the journal bearing flow subject to a contractible non-reciprocal loop. We show how geometric phases appear not only in the position, but also in the orientation of such particles. We show how control and targeting can be carried out on spheroidal particles in the flow.
