Effects of surface viscosities on the motion of a droplet enclosing a translating particle
Ali Gürbüz, Hervé Nganguia, Guangpu Zhu +3
We investigate the influence of interfacial rheology on the motion of a compound particle consisting of a viscous droplet enclosing a translating rigid particle in the Stokes flow…
Collinear Swimming of a Squirmer Pair in Newtonian and Shear-Thinning Fluids
Chih-Tang Liao, Ali Gürbüz, Victor Bueno Garcia +3
Pairwise hydrodynamic interactions of microswimmers form the fundamental building blocks for understanding their more complex collective behaviors. In this work, we revisit the can…
Soft-Lubrication Drainage and Rupture in Particle-Driven Vesicles
Yuan-Nan Young, Bryan Quaife, Herve Nganguia +3
The deformation and rupture of a lipid vesicle due to the forced normal approach of an inclusion are essential for optimizing the design of magnetic giant unilamellar vesicles [mag…
Hydrodynamic interactions between a sedimenting squirmer and a planar wall
Henry Shum, Devenayagam Palaniappan, Yuan-Nan Young
The hydrodynamic interactions between a sedimenting microswimmer and a solid wall have ubiquitous biological and technological applications. A plethora of gravity-induced swimming…
