Translation of a spherical viscous drop driven by localized forcing in Stokes flow
Sho Kawakami, Yuan-Nan Young, Howard A. Stone
Localized forcing in the fluid inside or outside a viscous drop can drive drop translation. Using the Lorentz reciprocal theorem, we derive an integral expression for the translati…

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…
