Capillary imbibition in a diverging flexible channel
Mouad Boudina, Gwynn J. Elfring
We study the imbibition of a wetting liquid between flexible sheets that are fixed on both ends. Assuming a narrow gap between the sheets, we solve the lubrication equation coupled…
Direct interception or inertial impaction? A theoretical derivation of the efficiency power law for a simple and practical definition of capture modes
Mouad Boudina, Frédérick P. Gosselin, Stéphane Étienne
We study the capture of particles advected by flows around a fixed cylinder. We derive theoretically the power law of the capture efficiency, usually obtained from data fitting onl…
Vortex-induced vibrations: a soft coral feeding strategy?
Mouad Boudina, Frédérick P. Gosselin, Stéphane Étienne
Soft corals, such as the bipinnate sea plume Antillogorgia bipinnata, are colony building animals that feed by catching food particles brought by currents. Because of their flexibl…
