The hydrodynamic Euler-elastica: shape transitions in the dynamical buckling of elastic filaments in Stokes flow
Clément Moreau, Laetitia Giraldi, Hermes Bloomfield-Gadêlha
The buckling of elastic filaments in viscous fluids, ubiquitous in biological systems like flagella, microtubules, and DNA, has long been described by the static Euler-elastica. Ye…
Swimming by spinning: spinning-top type rotations regularize sperm swimming into persistently symmetric paths in 3D
Xiaomeng Ren, Hermes Bloomfield-Gadêlha
Sperm modulate their flagellar symmetry to navigate through complex physico-chemical environments and achieve reproductive function. Yet it remains elusive how sperm swim forwards…
The reaction-diffusion basis of animated patterns in eukaryotic flagella
James F. Cass, Hermes Bloomfield-Gadelha
We show that the flagellar beat of bull spermatozoa and Chlamydomonas Reinhardtii can be modelled by a minimal, geometrically nonlinear reaction-diffusion system. Model solutions a…
The 3D coarse-graining formulation of interacting elastohydrodynamic filaments and multi-body microhydrodynamics
Paul Fuchter, Hermes Bloomfield-Gadêlha
Elastic filaments are vital to biological, physical and engineering systems, from cilia driving fluid in the lungs to artificial swimmers and micro-robotics. Simulating slender str…
Controlling non-controllable scallops
Marta Zoppello, Marco Morandotti, Hermes Bloomfield-Gadêlha
Any swimmer embedded on a inertialess fluid must perform a non-reciprocal motion to swim forward. The archetypal demonstration of this unique motion-constraint was introduced by Pu…
Direct Measurement of Unsteady Microscale Stokes Flow Using Optically Driven Microspheres
Nicolas Bruot, Pietro Cicuta, Hermes Bloomfield-Gadelha +4
A growing body of work on the dynamics of eukaryotic flagella has noted that their oscillation frequencies are sufficiently high that the viscous penetration depth of unsteady Stok…
