Small spherical particles when introduced into a non-uniform or unsteady flow are usually subject to inertial effects, either of the particle mass or of the fluid added-mass, and the gravitational settling. Small non-spherical particles, even when inertial effects are negligible, turn in response to the local fluid velocity gradients and the settling velocity of a particle varies with its orientation. These features are distinct from the response of lagrangian elements which simply move with the local fluid velocity. In this paper these different responses for small, stokesian particles are considered for some example non-uniform laminar flows. It is noted that this added feature may lead to chaotic particle motion where the motion of lagrangian elements is regular, and conversely regular motion where there is chaotic advection of lagrangian elements.
