Considerable effort has been directed towards the characterization of chiralmesoscale structures, as shown in chiral protein assemblies and carbonnanotubes. Here, we establish a thermally-driven hydrodynamic description forthe actuation and separation of mesoscale chiral structures in a fluid medium.Cross flow of a Newtonian liquid with a thermal gradient gives rise to chiralstructure propulsion and separation according to their handedness. In turn, thechiral suspension alters the liquid flow which thus acquires a transverse(chiral) velocity component. Since observation of the predicted effectsrequires a low degree of sophistication, our work provides an efficient andinexpensive approach to test and calibrate chiral particle propulsion andseparation strategies.
