Abstract
Rotating cylinders offer the possibility of being simple and fast syst ems to aggregate particles in seawater samples. An analysis of the flo w and resulting particle trajectories for such systems under laminar c onditions suggests that their dynamics are too complicated for them to be useful for quantitative studies. Among the potential problems are the substantial fluid shear associated with spin up and interactions o f particles with container walls.
