The hydrodynamic Euler-elastica: shape transitions in the dynamical buckling of elastic filaments in Stokes flow
Clément Moreau, Laetitia Giraldi, Hermes Bloomfield-Gadêlha
The buckling of elastic filaments in viscous fluids, ubiquitous in biological systems like flagella, microtubules, and DNA, has long been described by the static Euler-elastica. Ye…
Minimal design of a synthetic cilium
Clément Moreau, Benjamin J. Walker, Rebecca N. Poon +4
We study a slender filament beating in a viscous fluid with novel curvature-dependent bending stiffness. Our numerical and experimental investigations reveal that such differential…
Odd elastohydrodynamics: non-reciprocal living material in a viscous fluid
Kenta Ishimoto, Clément Moreau, Kento Yasuda
Motility is a fundamental feature of living matter, encompassing single cells and collective behavior. Such living systems are characterized by non-conservativity of energy and a l…
The effects of rapid yawing on simple swimmer models and planar Jeffery's orbits
Benjamin J. Walker, Kenta Ishimoto, Eamonn A. Gaffney +2
Over a sufficiently long period of time, or from an appropriate distance, the motion of many swimmers can appear smooth, with their trajectories appearing almost ballistic in natur…
Self-organized swimming with odd elasticity
Kenta Ishimoto, Clément Moreau, Kento Yasuda
We theoretically investigate self-oscillating waves of an active material, which have recently been introduced as a non-symmetric part of the elastic moduli, termed odd elasticity.…
Control and controllability of microswimmers by a shearing flow
Clément Moreau, Kenta Ishimoto, Eamonn A. Gaffney +1
With the continuing rapid development of artificial microrobots and active particles, questions of microswimmer guidance and control are becoming ever more relevant and prevalent.…
