Weak-inertial effects on destabilized receding contact lines
Akhil Varma
It is known that beyond a critical speed, the straight contact line of a partially-wetting liquid destabilizes into a corner. In one of the earliest theoretical works exploring thi…

Modeling chemo-hydrodynamic interactions of phoretic particles: a unified framework
Akhil Varma, Sebastien Michelin
Phoretic particles exploit local self-generated physico-chemical gradients to achieve self-propulsion at the micron scale. The collective dynamics of a large number of such particl…

Clustering-induced self-propulsion of isotropic autophoretic particles
Akhil Varma, Thomas D. Montenegro-Johnson, Sebastien Michelin
Self-diffusiophoretic particles exploit local concentration gradients of a solute species in order to self-propel at the micron scale. While an isolated chemically- and geometrical…
