Background

Fluid flows laden with particles have a long history of research, which has uncovered a remarkably rich phenomenology over the last decades, as experiments, theory and numerical simulations advanced. Of particular interest are the new avenues that emerge when one moves away from passive spherical particles and considers fluids and particles with more complex shapes, such as chiral particles, externally actuated or active particles, or even fluids with intrinsic odd responsive properties due to a microscopic chiral nature. Not only does this lead to surprising physics when considering the dynamics of the particle phase itself, but it also open up new possibilities for influencing and ultimately even controlling fluid flows directly from the bulk by cleverly manipulating the interaction between the phases.
