The deformation of a flexible fiber settling in a quiescent viscous fluid
Benjamin Marchetti, Veronica Raspa, Anke Lindner +4
The equilibrium state of a flexible fiber settling in a viscous fluid is examined using a combination of macroscopic experiments, numerical simulations and scaling arguments. We id…
Transport of flexible fibers in confined micro-channels
Jean Cappello, Mathias Bechert, Camille Duprat +3
When transported in confined geometries rigid fibers show interesting transport dynamics induced by friction with the top and bottom walls. Fiber flexibility causes an additional c…
Oscillations of confined fibers transported in microchannels
Mathias Nagel, Pierre-Thomas Brun, Helene Berthet +3
We investigate the trajectories of rigid fibers as they are transported in a pressure-driven flow, at low Reynolds number, in shallow Hele Shaw cells. The transverse confinement an…
