Field-Particle Interactions in Curved Flows for Shape-Asymmetric Active Particles
Derek C. Gomes, Tapan C. Adhyapak
We show that curvatures in general ambient flow profiles can align shape-asymmetric active particles, revealing a previously overlooked competition with externally applied aligning…

Shape-asymmetry and flexibility in active cross-stream migration in nonuniform shear
Derek C. Gomes, Tapan C. Adhyapak
We show that activity and broken fore-aft shape symmetry enable microswimmers to cross streamlines in nonuniform shear, a key yet overlooked factor in active cross-stream migration…

Frequency locking, Quasi periodicity and Chaos due to special relativistic effects
Derek C. Gomes, G. Ambika
We study quasi periodic and frequency locked states that can occur in a sinusoidally driven linear harmonic oscillator in the special relativistic regime. We show how the shift in…
