Designing optimal elastic filaments for viscous propulsion
Mariia Dvoriashyna, Eric Lauga
The propulsion of many eukaryotic cells is generated by flagella, flexible slender filaments that are actively oscillating in space and time. The dynamics of these biological appen…
Load-dependent resistive-force theory for helical filaments
Pyae Hein Htet, Eric Lauga
The passive rotation of rigid helical filaments is the propulsion strategy used by flagellated bacteria and some artificial microswimmers to navigate at low Reynolds numbers. In a…
Helical locomotion in dilute suspensions
Albane Théry, Andres Zambrano, Eric Lauga +1
Motivated by the aim of understanding the effect of media heterogeneity on the swimming dynamics of flagellated bacteria, we study the rotation and swimming of rigid helices in dil…
Adaptive locomotion of artificial microswimmers
Henwei Huang, Fazil Emre Uslu, Panayiota Katsamba +4
Bacteria can exploit mechanics to display remarkable plasticity in response to locally changing physical and chemical conditions. Compliant structures play a striking role in their…
