On the Propulsion of a Rigid Body in a Viscous Liquid by Time-Periodic Force with a Zero Average
Joris Edelmann, Giovanni P. Galdi, Mher M. Karakouzian +1
We perform analytical and numerical analyses of the propulsion of a rigid body in a viscous fluid subjected to a periodic force with zero average over a period. This general formul…

Rotational dynamics of a disk in a thin film of weakly nematic fluid subject to linear friction
Abdallah Daddi-Moussa-Ider, Elsen Tjhung, Marc Pradas +2
Dynamics at low Reynolds numbers experiences recent revival in the fields of biophysics and active matter. While in bulk isotropic fluids it is exhaustively studied, this is less s…

Hydrodynamics of a disk in a thin film of weakly nematic fluid subject to linear friction
Abdallah Daddi-Moussa-Ider, Elsen Tjhung, Thomas Richter +1
To make progress towards the development of a theory on the motion of inclusions in thin structured films and membranes, we here consider as an initial step a circular disk in a tw…
