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…
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…
