Undulatory locomotion of {\it C. elegans} on wet surfaces
Xiao N. Shen, J. Sznitman, P. Krajacic +2
The physical and bio-mechanical principles that govern undulatory movement on wet surfaces have important applications in physiology, physics, and engineering. The nematode {\it C.…
Splash control of drop impacts with geometric targets
Gabriel Juarez, Thomai Gastopoulos, Yibin Zhang +2
Drop impacts on solid and liquid surfaces exhibit complex dynamics due to the competition of inertial, viscous, and capillary forces. After impact, a liquid lamella develops and ex…
C. elegans in Complex Media
X. N. Shen, G. Juarez, P. E. Arratia
We experimentally studied the locomotion of the nematode C. elegans in both fluidic and granular media. In this fluid dynamics video, we show the motility gaits of the nematode in…
Undulatory swimming in viscoelastic fluids
Xiaoning Shen, P. E. Arratia
The effects of fluid elasticity on the swimming behavior of the nematode \emph{Caenorhabditis elegans} are experimentally investigated by tracking the nematode's motion and measuri…
