A mathematical model for optimal breakaways in cycling: balancing energy expenditure and crash risk
J. Chico-Vázquez, I. M. Griffiths
We present a mathematical model for optimizing breakaway strategies in competitive cycling, balancing power expenditure, aerodynamic drag, and crashing. Our framework incorporates…

Uncovering flow and deformation regimes in the coupled fluid-solid vestibular system
Javier Chico-Vázquez, Derek E. Moulton, Dominic Vella
In this paper, we showcase how flow obstruction by a deformable object can lead to symmetry breaking in curved domains subject to angular acceleration. Our analysis is motivated by…
