Transport and Energetics of Bacterial Rectification
Satyam Anand, Xiaolei Ma, Shuo Guo +2
Randomly moving active particles can be herded into directed motion by asymmetric geometric structures. Although such a rectification process has been extensively studied due to it…
Molecular chaos in dense active systems
Lu Chen, Kyle J. Welch, Premkumar Leishangthem +7
The hypothesis of molecular chaos plays the central role in kinetic theory, which provides a closure leading to the Boltzmann equation for quantitative description of classic fluid…
Tuning the rheology and microstructure of particle-laden fluid interfaces with Janus particles
Yiming Qiao, Xiaolei Ma, Zhengyang Liu +3
Hypothesis: Particle-laden fluid interfaces are the central component of many natural and engineering systems. Understanding the mechanical properties and improving the stability o…
Crack patterns of drying dense bacterial suspensions
Xiaolei Ma, Zhengyang Liu, Wei Zeng +3
Drying of bacterial suspensions is frequently encountered in a plethora of natural and engineering processes. However, the evaporation-driven mechanical instabilities of dense cons…
To cross or not to cross: collective swimming of Escherichia coli under two-dimensional confinement
Dipanjan Ghosh, Xiang Cheng
Bacteria in bulk fluids swim collectively and display fascinating emergent dynamics. Although bacterial collective swimming in three-dimensional (3D) geometries has been well studi…
Stress distribution and surface shock wave of drop impact
Ting-Pi Sun, Franco Alvarez-Novoa, Klebbert Andrade +3
Drop impact causes severe surface erosion, dictating many important natural, environmental and engineering processes and calling for substantial prevention and preservation efforts…
