Fig. 5. Time dependence of drift volume induced by the motion of a solid sphere
through an inviscid fluid. Sphere radius and propagation speed are 2.54 cm and
1 cm s-1, respectively. Total fluid drift (i.e. for infinite
domain) was computed using measured partial drift in the measurement window
and an analytical asymptotic correction factor (i.e. Eq. 12;
Eames et al., 1994). The
oscillation in drift volume corresponds to changes in direction of Lagrangian
particle translation during looping elastica trajectories.
