Abstract

The motions of single disks suspended in a liquid undergoing Couette flow have been studied in detail. The angular rotation and the axial spin of the disks were found to be in good agreement with the theory of Jeffery, provided the equivalent axis ratio re was used instead of the measured axis ratio r. It was found that non-interacting disks move in constant orbits without a tendency to drift into orbits corresponding to a minimum dissipation of energy. Discontinuous changes in orbit were observed to occur following two-body collisions.
