Steady translation of a chemically active viscous drop along a rigid wall
Nikhil Desai, Sébastien Michelin
Chemically active drops release a chemical solute, gradients in whose concentration cause interfacial flows that advect the emitted solute. This non-linear coupling between solute…

Steady state propulsion of isotropic active colloids along a wall
Nikhil Desai, Sebastien Michelin
Active drops emit/absorb chemical solutes, whose concentration gradients cause interfacial flows driving their own transport and the propulsion of the droplet. Such non-linear coup…

Instability and self-propulsion of active droplets along a wall
Nikhil Desai, Sebastien Michelin
Active droplets can swim spontaneously in viscous flows as a result of the non-linear convective transport of a chemical solute produced at their surface by the Marangoni and/or ph…
