This is the website for the Chiral group. As a project for our Nonlinear Dynamics and Chaos class at Georgia Tech, we are investigating a new method for separating chiral particles. As the project progresses, this wiki page will be updated with more material. At the moment you can view our presentation material, whitepaper, data and pictures of our setup at this website.

Abstract

This experiment will attempt to separate chiral particles via shear flow. We will place 3-D printed chiral particles in a high viscosity fluid and use a Taylor-Couette apparatus to generate a shear flow. The results of this experiment should help to verify research by M. Makino and M. Doi. Additionally, our observations should give us a degree of insight into naturally occurring chiral behavior.
