SurferBot: A wave-propelled aquatic vibrobot
Eugene Rhee, Robert Hunt, Stuart J. Thomson +1
Nature has evolved a vast array of strategies for propulsion at the air-fluid interface. Inspired by a survival mechanism initiated by the honeybee (Apis mellifera) trapped on the…
Taylor dispersion of elongated rods
Ajay Harishankar Kumar, Stuart J. Thomson, Thomas R. Powers +1
Particles transported in fluid flows, such as cells, polymers, or nanorods, are rarely spherical. In this study, we numerically and theoretically investigate the dispersion of an i…
A discrete complex Ginzburg-Landau equation for a hydrodynamic active lattice
Stuart J. Thomson, Matthew Durey, Rodolfo R. Rosales
A discrete and periodic complex Ginzburg-Landau equation, coupled to a discrete mean equation, is systematically derived from a driven and dissipative oscillator model, close to th…
Collective vibrations of confined levitating droplets
Stuart J. Thomson, Miles M. P. Couchman, John W. M. Bush
We report a new type of fluid-based driven dissipative oscillator system consisting of a lattice of millimetric fluid droplets bouncing on a vertically vibrating liquid bath and bo…
