Few-body hydrodynamic interactions probed by optical trap pulling experiment

Abstract
We study the hydrodynamic coupling of neighboring micro-beads placed in a dual optical trap setup allowing us to precisely control the degree of coupling and directly measure time-dependent trajectories of the entrained beads. Average experimental trajectories of a probe bead entrained by the motion of a neighboring scan bead are compared with theoretical computation, illustrating the role of viscous coupling and setting timescales for probe bead relaxation. The findings provide direct experimental corroborations of hydrodynamic coupling at larger, micron spatial scales and millisecond timescales, of relevance to hydrodynamic-assisted colloidal assembly as well as improving the resolution of optical tweezers. We repeat the experiments for three bead setups.
