The motion of thin, torque-free axisymmetric rigid particles with fore-aft symmetry in low Reynolds number linear flows is investigated. The rotational motion of such a particle is fully determined by the effective aspect ratio (κe), defined as the aspect ratio of a spheroid having the same period of rotation as that of the particle. We determine the effective aspect ratio for a family of shapes given by, y(ρ) = κ(1 − ρ2)α where α is a positive parameter, ρ is the radial distance from the particle center in polar coordinates, y is half the thickness of the particle, κ is the aspect ratio of the particle defined as the ratio of the thickness (L) of the particle parallel to the axis of symmetry to its diameter (d) perpendicular to the axis of symmetry. This family includes an oblate spheroid (α=12) and the shape approaches a blunt circular cylinder shape as α → 0. For a thin particle, the effective aspect ratio scales like GA12, where GA is the torque non-dimensionalized by μγd3 acting on a particle held in...
