Molecular Dynamics Simulations of Microscopic Structural Transition and Macroscopic Mechanical Properties of Magnetic Gels
Xuefeng Wei, Gaspard Junot, Ramin Golestanian +4
Magnetic gels with embedded micro/nano-sized magnetic particles in crosslinked polymer networks can be actuated by external magnetic fields, with changes in their internal microsco…
Multiflagellate Swimming Controlled by Interflagella Hydrodynamic Interactions
Shiyuan Hu, Fanlong Meng
Many eukaryotic microorganisms propelled by multiple flagella can swim very rapidly with distinct gaits. Here, we model a three-dimensional mutiflagellate swimming strategy, resemb…
Effect of viscoelastic fluid on the lift force in lubricated contacts
Shiyuan Hu, Fanlong Meng, Masao Doi
We consider a cylinder immersed in viscous fluid moving near a flat substrate covered by an incompressible viscoelastic fluid layer, and study the effect of the fluid viscoelastici…
Scaling transition of active turbulence from two to three dimensions
Da Wei, Yaochen Yang, Xuefeng Wei +4
Turbulent flows are observed in low-Reynolds active fluids. They are intrinsically different from the classical inertial turbulence and behave distinctively in two- and three-dimen…
