Noise-induced aggregation of swimmers in the Kolmogorov flow
Simon A. Berman, Kyle S. Ferguson, Nathaniel Bizzak +2
We investigate a model for the dynamics of ellipsoidal microswimmers in an externally imposed, laminar Kolmogorov flow. Through a phase-space analysis of the dynamics without noise…
Swimmer dynamics in externally-driven fluid flows: The role of noise
Simon A. Berman, Kevin A. Mitchell
We theoretically investigate the effect of random fluctuations on the motion of elongated microswimmers near hydrodynamic transport barriers in externally-driven fluid flows. Focus…
Transport barriers to self-propelled particles in fluid flows
Simon A. Berman, John Buggeln, David A. Brantley +2
We present theory and experiments demonstrating the existence of invariant manifolds that impede the motion of microswimmers in two-dimensional fluid flows. One-way barriers are ap…
Trapping of swimmers in a vortex lattice
S. A. Berman, K. A. Mitchell
We examine the motion of rigid, ellipsoidal swimmers subjected to a steady vortex flow in two dimensions. Numerical simulations of swimmers in a spatially periodic array of vortice…
Inclusion of Coulomb effects in laser-atom interactions
Jonathan Dubois, Simon Berman, Cristel Chandre +1
We investigate the role of the Coulomb interaction in strong field processes. We find that the Coulomb field of the ion makes its presence known even in highly intense laser fields…
Guiding-center motion for electrons in strong laser fields
Jonathan Dubois, S. Berman, C. Chandre +1
We consider the dynamics of electrons in combined strong laser and Coulomb fields. Under a timescale separation condition, we reduce this dynamics to a guiding-center framework. Mo…
