Flagellar Kinematics and Swimming of Algal Cells in Viscoelastic Fluids
Boyang Qin, Arvind Gopinath, Jing Yang +2
The motility of microorganisms is influenced greatly by their hydrodynamic interactions with the fluidic environment they inhabit. We show by direct experimental observation of the…
Tunable capillary-induced attraction between vertical cylinders
Jennifer M. Rieser, P. E. Arratia, A. G. Yodh +2
Deformation of a fluid interface caused by the presence of objects at the interface can lead to large lateral forces between the objects. We explore these fluid-mediated attractive…
Dynamical heterogeneity in soft particle suspensions under shear
K. N. Nordstrom, J. P. Gollub, D. J. Durian
We present experimental measurements of dynamical heterogeneities in a dense system of microgel spheres, sheared at different rates and at different packing fractions in a microflu…
Measuring Oscillatory Velocity Fields Due to Swimming Algae
Jeffrey S. Guasto, Karl A. Johnson, J. P. Gollub
In this fluid dynamics video, we present the first time-resolved measurements of the oscillatory velocity field induced by swimming unicellular microorganisms. Confinement of the g…
Oscillatory Flows Induced by Microorganisms Swimming in Two-dimensions
Jeffrey S. Guasto, Karl A. Johnson, J. P. Gollub
We present the first time-resolved measurements of the oscillatory velocity field induced by swimming unicellular microorganisms. Confinement of the green alga C. reinhardtii in st…
Centrifugal compression of soft particle packings - theory and experiment
K. N. Nordstrom, E. Verneuil, W. G. Ellenbroek +3
An exact method is developed for computing the height of an elastic medium subjected to centrifugal compression, for arbitrary constitutive relation between stress and strain. Exam…
