This study considers complex ice particles falling in the atmosphere: predicting the drag of
such particles is important for developing of climate models parameterizations. A Delayed …

The effects of porosity on the kinematics of porous disks are investigated experimentally. A
new falling motion is identified, namely, spiral irregular motion, which is characterized by the …

We experimentally investigate the dynamics of thin perforated disks freely falling under
gravity in still water. With a stereo vision system, three-dimensional paths are reconstructed …

It is important to know the accurate trajectory of a free fall object in fluid (such as a
spacecraft), whose motion might be chaotic in many cases. However, it is impossible to …

Climate model parametrization relies strongly on the prediction of snow precipitation, which
in turn depends upon the snowflakes falling motion in air. The falling attitudes of such …

Experimental and numerical approaches have their own advantages and limitations, in
particular, when dealing with complex phenomena such as snow particles falling at …

Results are presented from a comprehensive experimental campaign studying the
aerodynamics of 3D‐printed analogues of ice particles. Measurements of the drag …

A novel experimental approach for studying the aerodynamics of ice particles is presented.
The Trajectory Reconstruction Algorithm implemented through Image anaLysis (TRAIL) …

Using laboratory experiments, we investigate the turbulent slip velocity of large (Taylor-
scale), slightly negatively buoyant cylinders at two mass densities and four aspect ratios …

In recent years, the air-drop launch technology of near-space UAVs has attracted much
attention. Between downfall from the carrier and the flight control system's initiation, the UAV …
