Bacteria hinder large-scale transport and enhance small-scale mixing in time-periodic flows
Ranjiangshang Ran, Quentin Brosseau, Brendan C. Blackwell +3
Understanding mixing and transport of passive scalars in active fluids is important to many natural (e.g. algal blooms) and industrial (e.g. biofuel, vaccine production) processes.…
Metallic Microswimmers Driven up the Wall by Gravity
Quentin Brosseau, Florencio Balboa Usabiaga, Enkeleida Lushi +5
As a natural and functional behavior, various microorganisms exhibit gravitaxis by orienting and swimming upwards against gravity. Swimming autophoretic nanomotors described herein…
Relating microswimmer synthesis to rheotactic tunability
Quentin Brosseau, Florencio Balboa Usabiaga, Enkeleida Lushi +5
We explore the behavior of micron-scale autophoretic Janus (Au/Pt) rods, having various Au/Pt length ratios, swimming near a wall in an imposed background flow. We find that their…
