Three-dimensional particle tracking experiments were conducted in a turbulent boundary layer with friction Reynolds number $Re_\tau$ of 700 and 1300. Two finite size spheres with specific gravities of 1.003 (P1) and 1.050 (P2) and diameters of 60 and 120 wall units were released individually from rest on a smooth wall. The spheres were marked with dots all over the surface to monitor their translation and rotation via high-speed stereoscopic imaging. The spheres accelerated strongly after…

Analysis of the six-dimensional dynamics--position and orientation--of a large sphere advected by a turbulent flow reveal a surprising intermittency for an object whose size lies in the inertial range, close to the integral scale of the underlying turbulent flow.
