Curving to fly: Synthetic adaptation unveils optimal flight performance of whirling fruits
Jean Rabault, Richard A. Fauli, Andreas Carlson
Appendages of seeds, fruits and other diaspores (dispersal units) are essential for their wind dispersal, as they act as wings and enable them to fly. Whirling fruits generate an a…
Asymptotic regimes in elastohydrodynamic and stochastic leveling on a viscous film
Christian Pedersen, John Niven, Thomas Salez +2
An elastic sheet that deforms near a solid substrate in a viscous fluid is a situation relevant to various dynamical processes in biology, geophysics and engineering. Here, we stud…
Directional spreading of a viscous droplet on a conical fibre
Tak Shing Chan, Fan Yang, Andreas Carlson
If a droplet is placed on a substrate with a conical shape it spontaneously starts to spread in the direction of a growing fibre radius. We describe this capillary spreading dynami…
