* ABSTRACT | |||||||
The motion of point-like particles in a flowing fluid is advective meaning that the particles move in a stationary flow together with the fluid along the stream lines if no other forces act on the particle than those exerted by the fluid. Extended particles in general move along trajectories which differ from the stream lines and depend on the size and form of the particles. In this talk, we investigate the influence of different spatial conformations which are mirror images of each other and hence constitute ``chiral twins\\\'\\\', on the particle trajectories, and investigate whether the differences in the motion of these twins can be utilized for separating them according to the chirality. |
