Fabrication and Manipulation of Non-Spherical Particles in Microfluidic Channels: A Review [PDF]
Non-spherical shape is a general appearance feature for bioparticles. Therefore, a mechanical mechanism study of non-spherical particle migration in a microfluidic chip is essential for more precise isolation of target particles. With the manipulation of

Saltation of non-spherical sand particles. [PDF]
Saltation is an important geological process and the primary source of atmospheric mineral dust aerosols. Unfortunately, no studies to date have been able to precisely reproduce the saltation process because of the simplified theoretical models used. For

The Effect of Particle Shape on the Compaction of Realistic Non-Spherical Particles—A Multi-Contact DEM Study [PDF]
The purpose of this study was to investigate the deformation behavior of non-spherical particles during high-load compaction using the multi-contact discrete element method (MC-DEM). To account for non-spherical particles, the bonded multi-sphere method (

Non-Spherical Particles for Targeted Drug Delivery. [PDF]
Nano- and microparticles loaded with various bioimaging contrast agents or therapeutic molecules have been increasingly used for the diagnosis and treatment of diseases and tissue defects. These particles, often a filled or hollow sphere, can extend the lifetime of encapsulated biomedical modalities in circulation and in target tissue.

Experimental study of particle shape dependence of avalanches inside a rotating drum [PDF]
We investigate the avalanches of spherical and non-spherical granular particles inside half-filled rotating drums. The time series of the center of gravity of the particle assemblies are obtained via image analysis and their single-sided amplitude (SSA ...

Discrete element modeling of non-spherical particles using a spherical shape
Real non-spherical particles can be modeled using the Discrete Element Method (DEM) with sphere clusters, superquadrics, or polyhedral particles. However, in applications involving a considerable number of particles, the analysis can become impracticable.
