Metachronal coordination at the mesoscale
Sebastian Ziegler, Megan Delens, Ylona Collard +3
In nature, metachronal coordination is an efficient strategy for fluid pumping and self-propulsion. Yet, mimetic systems for this type of organization are scarce. Recently, metachr…
Magnetically powered metachronal waves induce locomotion in self-assemblies
Ylona Collard, Galien Grosjean, Nicolas Vandewalle
When tiny soft ferromagnetic particles are placed along a liquid interface and exposed to a vertical magnetic field, the balance between capillary attraction and magnetic repulsion…
Regimes of motion of magnetocapillary swimmers
Alexander Sukhov, Maxime Hubert, Galien Grosjean +6
The dynamics of a triangular magnetocapillary swimmer is studied using the lattice Boltzmann method. Performing extensive numerical simulations taking into account the coupled dyna…
The Scallop Theorem and Swimming at the Mesoscale
Maxime Hubert, Oleg Trosman, Ylona Collard +4
By synergistically combining modeling, simulation and experiments, we show that there exists a regime of self-propulsion in which the inertia in the fluid dynamics can be separated…
Capillary assemblies in a rotating magnetic field
Galien Grosjean, Maxime Hubert, Ylona Collard +4
Small objects floating on a fluid have a tendency to aggregate due to capillary forces. This effect has been used, with the help of a magnetic induction field, to assemble submilli…
Surface microswimmers, harnessing the interface to self-propel
Galien Grosjean, Maxime Hubert, Ylona Collard +2
In the study of microscopic flows, self-propulsion has been particularly topical in recent years, with the rise of miniature artificial swimmers as a new tool for flow control, low…
