Anisotropic, finite-sized particles, common in environmental and industrial flows, exhibit complex dynamics distinct from those of small, spherical particles. Their shape introduces orientation-dependent forces, and their finite size…

In fluid transport across nanopores, there is a fundamental dissipation that arises from the connection between the pore and the macroscopic reservoirs. This entrance effect can hinder the whole transport in certain situations, for short…
The root systems of mangroves, a tree species found in intertidal tropical and sub-tropical coastal zones, provide a natural barrier that dissipates wave energy effectively and reduces sediment erosion. In this work, we use a combination of…
