Abstract

The late stage of the freefall of homogeneous and heterogeneous cones and the induced flow are studied using three-dimensional particle tracking velocimetry and three-dimensional particle image velocimetry. Results showed four distinct patterns modulated by the degree of heterogeneity and specific gravity. They included straight fall, sinusoidal-like trajectories, inclined translations with large rotations, and tumbling followed by an irregular motion.
