Abstract
We experimentally investigate the effect of shape on finite-size particles long term trajectories and observe that particles with an anisotropic shape can be attracted to coherent regions of the flow with a higher rate than spherical particles. We present a simple model that combines finite-size effects with orientation-dependent drag forces, and show that the aggregation rate and final particle concentration depend on both the particle's Stokes number and aspect ratio.
