The entrainment and energetics of turbulent plumes in a confined space

John Craske, Megan S. Davies Wykes

We analyse the entrainment and energetics of equal and opposite axisymmetric turbulent air plumes in a vertically confined space at a Rayleigh number of using t…

Energetics of mixing for the filling box and the emptying-filling box

Megan S. Davies Wykes, Charlie Hogg, Jamie Partridge +1

The mixing efficiency of a plume in a filling box and an emptying-filling box is calculated for both transient and steady states. The mixing efficiency of a plume in a filling box…

Guiding microscale swimmers using teardrop-shaped posts

Megan S. Davies Wykes, Xiao Zhong, Jiajun Tong +6

The swimming direction of biological or artificial microscale swimmers tends to be randomised over long time-scales by thermal fluctuations. Bacteria use various strategies to bias…

Dynamic self-assembly of microscale rotors and swimmers

Megan S. Davies Wykes, Jeremie Palacci, Takuji Adachi +5

Biological systems often involve the self-assembly of basic components into complex and function- ing structures. Artificial systems that mimic such processes can provide a well-co…
