Swimming speeds of filaments in nonlinearly viscoelastic fluids
Henry C. Fu, Charles W. Wolgemuth, Thomas R. Powers
Many microorganisms swim through gels and non-Newtonian fluids in their natural environments. In this paper, we focus on microorganisms which use flagella for propulsion. We addres…

Separation of microscale chiral objects by shear flow
Marcos, Henry C. Fu, Thomas R. Powers +1
We show that plane parabolic flow in a microfluidic channel causes nonmotile helically-shaped bacteria to drift perpendicular to the shear plane. Net drift results from the prefere…
