The charmed string: self-supporting loops through air drag

Adrian Daerr, Juliette Courson, Margaux Abello +2

The string shooter experiment uses counter-rotating pulleys to propel a closed string forward. Its steady state exhibits a transition from a gravity dominated regime at low velocit…

Geometric variational approach to the dynamics of porous media filled with incompressible fluid

Tagir Farkhutdinov, François Gay-Balmaz, Vakhtang Putkaradze

We derive the equations of motion for the dynamics of a porous media filled with an incompressible fluid. We use a variational approach with a Lagrangian written as the sum of term…

A mass-spring fluid-structure interaction solver: Application to flexible revolving wings

Hung Truong, Thomas Engels, Dmitry Kolomenskiy +1

The secret to the spectacular flight capabilities of flapping insects lies in their wings, which are often approximated as flat, rigid plates. Real wings are however delicate struc…

The impact of turbulence on flying insects in tethered and free flight: high-resolution numerical experiments

Thomas Engels, Dmitry Kolomenskiy, Kai Schneider +3

Flapping insects are remarkably agile fliers, adapted to a highly turbulent environment. We present a series of high resolution numerical simulations of a bumblebee interacting wit…

On the role of thermal boundary conditions in dynamo scaling laws

Ludivine Oruba

In dynamo power-based scaling laws, the power injected by buoyancy forces is measured by a so-called flux-based Rayleigh number, denoted as (see Christensen and…

Connections between centrifugal, stratorotational and radiative instabilities in viscous Taylor-Couette flow

Colin Leclercq, Florian Nguyen, Rich R. Kerswell

The `Rayleigh line' , where and are respectively the rotation and radius ratios between inner (subscript `i') and outer (subscript `o') cylinders, is…
