| contents | We perform direct numerical simulations of sub-Kolmogorov, inertial spheroids settling under gravity in homogeneous, isotropic turbulence and find that small-scale clustering, measured via the correlation dimension, depends sensitively on their aspect ratios. In particular, such particles are shown to cluster more as their anisotropy increases. Further, the approach rate for pairs of spheroids are calculated and found to deviate significantly from the spherical-particle limit. Our study, spanning a range of Stokes numbers and aspect ratios, provides critical inputs for developing collision models to understand the dynamics of sedimenting, anisotropic particles in general and ice crystals in clouds in particular. |
