“…The dynamics and orientation of fibers and rod-shaped particles are relevant to environmental flows such as cloud physics (Pinsky and Khain, 1998;Saunders, 1994;Saunders et al, 2001;Sherwood et al, 2006) and industrial flows from paper manufacturing (Lundell et al, 2011;Olson and Kerekes, 1998) to drag reduction using fiber suspensions (Dimitropoulos et al, 2005;Paschkewitz et al, 2005). In addition to advection and particle orientation, particle deformations are also an important factor in real-life particle-flow interactions and play a key role in many different flow environments (Ezzeldin et al, 2015;Guo et al, 2017;Marchioli and Vincent, 2019;Stockie and Green, 1998). Recent advances in experimental techniques and computational capabilities have allowed us to study the advection (Voth and Soldati, 2017) and deformation (Allende et al, 2018;Dotto and Marchioli, 2019;Gay et al, 2018;Rosti et al, 2018) of particles in fluid flows which have led to a deeper understanding of particle-turbulence interactions.…”
