The hydrodynamics of swimming microorganisms
Eric Lauga, Thomas R. Powers
Cell motility in viscous fluids is ubiquitous and affects many biological processes, including reproduction, infection, and the marine life ecosystem. Here we review the biophysica…
Geometric transition in friction for flow over a bubble mattress
Anthony M. J. Davis, Eric Lauga
Laminar flow over a bubble mattress is expected to experience a significant reduction in friction since the individual surfaces of the bubbles are shear-free. However, if the bubbl…
Flapping motion and force generation in a viscoelastic fluid
Thibaud Normand, Eric Lauga
In a variety of biological situations, swimming cells have to move through complex fluids. Similarly, mucociliary clearance involves the transport of polymeric fluids by beating ci…
Reciprocal locomotion of dense swimmers in Stokes flow
David Gonzalez-Rodriguez, Eric Lauga
Due to the kinematic reversibility of Stokes flow, a body executing a reciprocal motion (a motion in which the sequence of body configurations remains identical under time reversal…
