Programmable metachronal motion of densely packed magnetic artificial cilia
Tongsheng Wang, Tanveer ul Islam, Erik Steur +5
Despite recent advances in artificial cilia technologies, the application of metachrony, which is the collective wavelike motion by cilia moving out-of-phase, has been severely ham…
Fluid-particle suspension by gas release from a granular bed
Tess Homan, Valérie Vidal, Clément Picard +1
We have studied experimentally particle suspension when injecting a gas at the bottom of an immersed granular layer confined in a Hele-Shaw cell. This work focuses on the dynamics…
Measuring the average cell size and width of its distribution in cellular tissues using Fourier Transform
Tess Homan, Sylvain Monnier, Cécile Jebane +2
We present an in-depth investigation of a fully automated Fourier-based analysis to determine the cell size and the width of its distribution in 3D biological tissues. The results…
Fast determination of coarse grained cell anisotropy and size in epithelial tissue images using Fourier transform
M. Durande, S. Tlili, T. Homan +3
Mechanical strain and stress play a major role in biological processes such as wound healing or morphogenesis. To assess this role quantitatively, fixed or live images of tissues a…
Giant drag reduction due to interstitial air in sand
Tess Homan, Devaraj van der Meer
When an object impacts onto a bed of very loose, fine sand, the drag it experiences depends on the ambient pressure in a surprising way: Drag is found to increase significantly wit…
High-speed X-ray imaging of a ball impacting on loose sand
Tess Homan, Rob Mudde, Detlef Lohse +1
When a ball is dropped in fine, very loose sand, a splash and subsequently a jet are ob- served above the bed, followed by a granular eruption. To directly and quantitatively deter…
