The hydrodynamic Euler-elastica: shape transitions in the dynamical buckling of elastic filaments in Stokes flow
Clément Moreau, Laetitia Giraldi, Hermes Bloomfield-Gadêlha
The buckling of elastic filaments in viscous fluids, ubiquitous in biological systems like flagella, microtubules, and DNA, has long been described by the static Euler-elastica. Ye…

Bending-compression coupling in extensible slender microswimmers
Kenta Ishimoto, Johann Herault, Clément Moreau
Undulatory slender objects have been a central theme in the hydrodynamics of swimming at low Reynolds number, where the slender body is usually assumed to be inextensible, although…

The N-link model for slender rods in a viscous fluid: well-posedness and convergence to classical elastohydrodynamics equations
Clément Moreau, François Alouges, Aline Lefebvre-Lepot +1
Flexible fibers at the microscopic scale, such as flagella and cilia, play essential roles in biological and synthetic systems. The dynamics of these slender filaments in viscous f…
