Capillary assemblies in a rotating magnetic field
Galien Grosjean, Maxime Hubert, Ylona Collard +4
Small objects floating on a fluid have a tendency to aggregate due to capillary forces. This effect has been used, with the help of a magnetic induction field, to assemble submilli…
Bragg's reflection for walking droplets in 1D crystals
Nicolas Vandewalle, Boris Filoux, Maxime Hubert
A walking droplet possesses fascinating properties due to its peculiar wave/particle interaction. The self-propelling motion of such a droplet is driven by the Faraday instability…
Optimal motion of triangular magnetocapillary swimmers
Alexander Sukhov, Sebastian Ziegler, Qingguang Xie +7
A system of ferromagnetic particles trapped at a liquid-liquid interface and subjected to a set of magnetic fields (magnetocapillary swimmers) is studied numerically using a hybrid…
WKB approach to evaluate series of Mathieu functions in scattering problems
Maxime Hubert, Remy Dubertrand
The scattering of a wave obeying Helmholtz equation by an elliptic obstacle can be described exactly using series of Mathieu functions. This situation is relevant in optics, quantu…
