Effects of confinement on the dynamics and correlation scales in active fluids
Yi Fan, Kun-Ta Wu, Ali Aghvami +2
We study the influence of solid boundaries on dynamics and structure of active fluids as the height of the container, , changes. Along the varying dimension, the geometry system…
The motion, stability and breakup of a stretching liquid bridge with a receding contact line
Bian Qian, Kenneth S. Breuer
The complex behavior of drop deposition on a hydrophobic surface is considered by looking at a model problem in which the evolution of a constant-volume liquid bridge is studied as…
Minimal Model for Hydrodynamic Synchronization
Bian Qian, Hongyuan Jiang, David A. Gagnon +2
Motivated by the observed coordination of nearby beating cilia, we use a scale model experiment to show that hydrodynamic interactions can cause synchronization between rotating pa…
Shape transition and propulsive force of an elastic rod rotating in a viscous fluid
Bian Qian, Thomas R. Powers, Kenneth S. Breuer
The deformation of thin rods in a viscous liquid is central to the mechanics of motility in cells ranging from \textit{Escherichia coli} to sperm. Here we use experiments and theor…
A macroscopic scale model of bacterial flagellar bundling
MunJu Kim, James C. Bird, Annemarie J. Van Parys +2
Escherichia coli and other bacteria use rotating helical filaments to swim. Each cell typically has about four filaments, which bundle or disperse depending on the sense of motor r…
