Thomson–Einstein’s Tea Leaf Paradox Revisited: Aggregation in Rings

A distinct particle focusing spot occurs in the center of a rotating fluid, presenting an apparent paradox given the presence of particle inertia. It is recognized, however, that the presence of a secondary flow with a radial component drives this particle aggregation. In this study, we expand on th...
