Undulatory underwater swimming: Linking vortex dynamics, thrust, and wake structure with a biorobotic fish
Christophe Brouzet, Christophe Raufaste, Médéric Argentina
Flapping-based propulsive systems rely on fluid-structure interactions to produce thrust. At intermediate and high Reynolds numbers, vortex formation and organization in the wake o…

Curvature-driven transport of thin Bingham fluid layers in airway bifurcations
Cyril Karamaoun, Haribalan Kumar, Médéric Argentina +2
The mucus on the bronchial wall forms a thin layer of non-Newtonian fluid. One of the roles of mucus is to protect the lungs by capturing inhaled pollutants. It is transported by m…
