Noise-induced aggregation of swimmers in the Kolmogorov flow
Simon A. Berman, Kyle S. Ferguson, Nathaniel Bizzak +2
We investigate a model for the dynamics of ellipsoidal microswimmers in an externally imposed, laminar Kolmogorov flow. Through a phase-space analysis of the dynamics without noise…
Transport barriers to self-propelled particles in fluid flows
Simon A. Berman, John Buggeln, David A. Brantley +2
We present theory and experiments demonstrating the existence of invariant manifolds that impede the motion of microswimmers in two-dimensional fluid flows. One-way barriers are ap…
Frozen reaction fronts in steady flows: a burning-invariant-manifold perspective
John R. Mahoney, John Li, Carleen Boyer +2
The dynamics of fronts, such as chemical reaction fronts, propagating in two-dimensional fluid flows can be remarkably rich and varied. For time-invariant flows, the front dynamics…
Invariant barriers to reactive front propagation in fluid flows
John Mahoney, Dylan Bargteil, Mark Kingsbury +2
We present theory and experiments on the dynamics of reaction fronts in two-dimensional, vortex-dominated flows, for both time-independent and periodically driven cases. We find th…
Frozen fronts in cellular flows
M. E. Schwartz, T. H. Solomon
We present experiments on the behavior of reaction fronts in ordered and disordered cellular flows with imposed winds. Fronts in a chain of alternating vortices are found to freeze…
