New theory paper on particle interactions in oscillating flows. Inertia produces time-averaged interactions that drive the particles to attract, repel or rearrange!

New preprint! In it we study how oscillating particles interact. They can either attract or repel, depending on the oscillation frequency and their orientation. This occurs due to inertial and viscous forces, which add up over many cycles.
