Optimal Filling of Shapes

Carolyn L. Phillips, Joshua A. Anderson, Greg Huber +1

We present filling as a type of spatial subdivision problem similar to covering and packing. Filling addresses the optimal placement of overlapping objects lying entirely inside an…

Beating patterns of filaments in viscoelastic fluids

Henry C. Fu, Charles W. Wolgemuth, Thomas R. Powers

Many swimming microorganisms, such as bacteria and sperm, use flexible flagella to move through viscoelastic media in their natural environments. In this paper we address the effec…

Theory of swimming filaments in viscoelastic media

Henry C. Fu, Thomas R. Powers, Charles W. Wolgemuth

Motivated by the swimming of sperm in the non-Newtonian fluids of the female mammalian reproductive tract, we examine the swimming of filaments in the nonlinear viscoelastic Upper…

Vesicle shape, molecular tilt, and the suppression of necks

Hongyuan Jiang, Greg Huber, Robert A. Pelcovits +1

Can the presence of molecular-tilt order significantly affect the shapes of lipid bilayer membranes, particularly membrane shapes with narrow necks? Motivated by the propensity for…

Dynamic supercoiling bifurcations of growing elastic filaments

Charles W. Wolgemuth, Raymond E. Goldstein, Thomas R. Powers

Certain bacteria form filamentous colonies when the cells fail to separate after dividing. In Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus thermus, and cyanobacteria, the filaments can wrap into co…
