Vorticella convallaria are microscopic sessile suspension feeders that live attached to substrates in aquatic environments. They feed using a selfâgenerated current and help maintain the health of a
The Reynolds number, which describes the relative importance of viscous and inertial contributions is commonly used to analyze forces on fish and other aquatic animals. However, this number is based o

In this article, we hypothesize that droplet transport in air-assisted spraying systems is related to the different diameter-dependent regime change, when aerodynamic drag, particle inertia, and canop
