No many-scallop theorem: Collective locomotion of reciprocal swimmers
Eric Lauga, Denis Bartolo
To achieve propulsion at low Reynolds number, a swimmer must deform in a way that is not invariant under time-reversal symmetry; this result is known as the scallop theorem. We sho…
Bouncing or sticky droplets: impalement transitions on superhydrophobic micropatterned surfaces
Denis Bartolo, Farid Bouamrirene, Emilie Verneuil +3
When a liquid drops impinges a hydrophobic rough surface it can either bounce off the surface (fakir droplets) or be impaled and strongly stuck on it (Wenzel droplets). The analysi…
Effective interactions between inclusions in complex fluids driven out of equilibrium
Denis Bartolo, Armand Ajdari, Jean-Baptiste Fournier
The concept of fluctuation-induced effective interactions is extended to systems driven out of equilibrium. We compute the forces experienced by macroscopic objects immersed in a s…
Elastic interaction between "hard'' or "soft" pointwise inclusions on biological membranes
Denis Bartolo, Jean-Baptiste Fournier
We calculate the induced elastic-interaction between pointwise membrane inclusions that locally interact up to quadratic order with the membrane curvature tensor. For isotropic inc…
