In stratified fluids, small porous particles can settle faster than large ones. In linear stratification, the settling rate is set by the solute absorption rate. New predictions and experiments in our latest work out today in @pnas.org.

Postdoctoral researcher @robert-hunt.bsky.social of @fluiddanamics.bsky.social, in collaboration with UNC-Chapel Hill, has found surprising new insights into how particles sink in stratified fluids like oceans, where the density of the fluid changes with depth. www.brown.edu/news/2025-06...
New research uncovers surprising physics of ‘marine snow’
Engineering scholars at Brown University uncovered unexpected dynamics in how organic particulates sink in the ocean, a process that plays a key role in marine nutrient cycling.
