Fluctuation-induced ionic friction at solid-electrolyte interfaces

Damien Toquer, Baptiste Coquinot, Nikita Kavokine +1

In this article, we explore how transport at a solid--electrolyte interface is affected by the internal fluctuations of the solid and quantify the role of solid excitations on ioni…

Fluctuation-induced and quantum effects in nanofluidic transport

Adrien Sutter, Peter Gispert, Baptiste Coquinot +2

The hydrodynamic wall has traditionally been considered a featureless object, whose only role is to provide a boundary for fluid flow. Yet, there is now ample evidence that at nano…

Hydrodynamic permeability of fluctuating porous membranes

Albert Dombret, Adrien Sutter, Baptiste Coquinot +3

In this paper we examine how porosity fluctuations affect the hydrodynamic permeability of a porous matrix or membrane. We introduce a fluctuating Darcy model, which couples the Na…

Hydroelectric energy conversion of waste flows through hydroelectronic drag

Baptiste Coquinot, Lydéric Bocquet, Nikita Kavokine

Hydraulic energy is a key component of the global energy mix, yet there exists no practical way of harvesting it at small scales, from flows at low Reynolds number. This has trigge…
