Morphodynamics of surface-attached active drops
Alejandro Martinez-Calvo, Sujit S. Datta
Many biological and synthetic systems are suspensions of oriented, actively-moving components. Unlike in passive suspensions, the interplay between orientational order, active flow…
The influence of an outer bath on the dewetting of an ultrathin liquid film
A. Martinez-Calvo, D. Moreno-Boza, J. F. Guil-Pedrosa +1
We report a theoretical and numerical investigation of the linear and nonlinear dynamics of a thin liquid film of viscosity sandwiched between a solid substrate and an unbounde…
The fluidic memristor: collective phenomena in elastohydrodynamic networks
Alejandro Martinez-Calvo, Matthew D Biviano, Anneline Christensen +3
Fluid flow networks are ubiquitous and can be found in a broad range of contexts, from human-made systems such as water supply networks to living systems like animal and plant vasc…
Cellular Sensing Governs the Stability of Chemotactic Fronts
Ricard Alert, Alejandro Martínez-Calvo, Sujit S. Datta
In contexts ranging from embryonic development to bacterial ecology, cell populations migrate chemotactically along self-generated chemical gradients, often forming a propagating f…
Fingering instability in spreading epithelial monolayers: roles of cell polarisation, substrate friction and contractile stresses
Carolina Trenado, Luis L. Bonilla, Alejandro Martínez-Calvo
Collective cell migration plays a crucial role in many developmental processes that underlie morphogenesis, wound healing, or cancer progression. In such coordinated behaviours, ce…
Natural break-up and satellite formation regimes of surfactant-laden liquid threads
A. Martínez-Calvo, J. Rivero-Rodríguez, B. Scheid +1
We report a numerical analysis of the unforced break-up of free cylindrical threads of viscous Newtonian liquid whose interface is coated with insoluble surfactants, focusing on th…
Start-up flow in shallow deformable microchannels
A. Martínez-Calvo, A. Sevilla, G. G. Peng +1
Microfluidic systems are usually fabricated with soft materials that deform due to the fluid stresses. Recent experimental and theoretical studies on the steady flow in shallow def…
