Irreversibility and self-organisation in hydrodynamic echo experiments
Gustavo During, Denis Bartolo, Jorge Kurchan
We discuss the reversible-irreversible transition in low-Reynolds hydrodynamic systems driven by external cycling actuation. We introduce a set of models with no auto-organisation,…

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…

Rotational dynamics of a soft filament: wrapping transition and propulsive forces
Naïs Coq, Olivia Du Roure, Joel Marthelot +2
We analyze experimentally the shape of a long elastic filament rotating in a viscous liquid. We identify a continuous but sharp transition from a straight to an helical shape, resu…
