Acoustic propulsion of a small bottom-heavy sphere
Francois Nadal, Sebastien Michelin
We present here a comprehensive derivation for the speed of a small bottom-heavy sphere forced by a transverse acoustic field and thereby establish how density inhomogeneities may…

Asymmetric steady streaming as a mechanism for acoustic propulsion of rigid bodies
Francois Nadal, Eric Lauga
Recent experiments showed that standing acoustic waves could be exploited to induce self-propulsion of rigid metallic particles in the direction perpendicular to the acoustic wave.…
