Hydrodynamic phase-locking of swimming microorganisms
Gwynn J. Elfring, Eric Lauga
Some microorganisms, such as spermatozoa, synchronize their flagella when swimming in close proximity. Using a simplified model (two infinite, parallel, two-dimensional waving shee…
Adhesion Transition of Flexible Sheets
Arthur A. Evans, Eric Lauga
Intermolecular forces are known to precipitate adhesion events between solid bodies. Inspired by a macro-scale experiment showing the hysteretic adhesion of a piece of flexible tap…
Influence of slip on the dynamics of two-dimensional wakes
Dominique Legendre, Eric Lauga, Jacques Magnaudet
We study numerically the two-dimensional flow past a circular cylinder as a prototypical transitional flow, and investigate the influence of a generic slip boundary condition on th…
Life at high Deborah number
Eric Lauga
In many biological systems, microorganisms swim through complex polymeric fluids, and usually deform the medium at a rate faster than the inverse fluid relaxation time. We address…
