A note about convected time derivatives for flows of complex fluids
Howard A. Stone, Michael J. Shelley, Evgeniy Boyko
We present a direct derivation of the typical time derivatives used in a continuum description of complex fluid flows, harnessing the principles of the kinematics of line elements.…
Self-organized flows in phase-synchronizing active fluids
Brato Chakrabarti, Michael J. Shelley, Sebastian Fürthauer
Many active biological particles, such as swimming microorganisms or motor-proteins, do work on their environment by going though a periodic sequence of shapes. Interactions betwee…
Weakly nonlinear analysis of pattern formation in active suspensions
Laurel Ohm, Michael J. Shelley
We consider the Saintillan--Shelley kinetic model of active rodlike particles in Stokes flow (Saintillan & Shelley 2008a,b), for which the uniform, isotropic suspension of pusher p…
Enhanced clamshell swimming with asymmetric beating at low Reynolds number
Shiyuan Hu, Jun Zhang, Michael J. Shelley
A single flexible filament can be actuated to escape from the scallop theorem and generate net propulsion at low Reynolds number. In this work, we study the dynamics of a simple bo…
Thermodynamically consistent coarse-graining of polar active fluids
Scott Weady, David B. Stein, Michael J. Shelley
We introduce a closure model for coarse-grained kinetic theories of polar active fluids. Based on a quasi-equilibrium approximation of the particle distribution function, the model…
The role of monolayer viscosity in Langmuir film hole closure dynamics
Leroy L. Jia, Michael J. Shelley
We re-examine the model proposed by Alexander et al. (2006) for the closing of a circular hole in a molecularly thin incompressible Langmuir film situated on a Stokesian subfluid.…
