Mixing in chaotic flows with swimming bacteria
Ranjiangshang Ran, Quentin Brosseau, Brendan C. Blackwell +3
This is a manuscript accepted for publication on Physical Review Fluids, Gallery of Fluid Motion special issue. The manuscript is associated with a poster winner of the 39th Annual…
Bacteria hinder large-scale transport and enhance small-scale mixing in time-periodic flows
Ranjiangshang Ran, Quentin Brosseau, Brendan C. Blackwell +3
Understanding mixing and transport of passive scalars in active fluids is important to many natural (e.g. algal blooms) and industrial (e.g. biofuel, vaccine production) processes.…
Flow Resistance and Structures in Viscoelastic Channel Flows at Low Re
Boyang Qin, Paul F. Salipante, Steven D. Hudson +1
The flow of viscoelastic fluids in channels and pipes remain poorly understood, particularly at low Reynolds numbers. Here, we investigate the flow of polymeric solutions in straig…
Characterizing Elastic Turbulence in Channel Flows at Low Reynolds number
Boyang Qin, Paulo E. Arratia
We experimentally investigate the flow of a viscoelastic fluid in a parallel shear geometry at low Reynolds number. As the flow becomes unstable via a nonlinear subcritical instabi…
Flagellar Kinematics and Swimming of Algal Cells in Viscoelastic Fluids
Boyang Qin, Arvind Gopinath, Jing Yang +2
The motility of microorganisms is influenced greatly by their hydrodynamic interactions with the fluidic environment they inhabit. We show by direct experimental observation of the…
