On Instantanous Behaviour of Microplastic Contaminants in Turbulent Flow
Summary
Researchers investigated the instantaneous behavior of microplastic contaminants in turbulent flow, examining how particle physical properties interact with fluid dynamics to determine their distribution and transport in aquatic environments. Understanding microplastic transport dynamics in turbulence is essential for accurately modeling where particles accumulate in rivers and oceans, which directly informs predictions of ecological and human exposure hotspots.
The global plastic waste generation increased drastically during the past decade, and therefore, microplastic (MP) input to the aquatic environment is growing exponentially. MP distribution in the aquatic environment is linked to particles’ physical...
