The sedimentation of flexible filaments: Trajectories, particle clouds and a buckling instability
Harishankar Manikantan, Lei Li, David Saintillan +1
In this fluid dynamics video we explore an array of different possible dynamics for a flexible filament sedimenting in a viscous fluid. The time-dependent shapes and trajectories o…
Globally aligned states and hydrodynamic traffic jams in confined active suspensions
Adrien Lefauve, David Saintillan
Strongly confined active liquids are subject to unique hydrodynamic interactions due to momentum screening and lubricated friction by the confining walls. Using numerical simulatio…
The sedimentation of flexible filaments
Lei Li, Harishankar Manikantan, David Saintillan +1
The dynamics of a flexible filament sedimenting in a viscous fluid are explored analytically and numerically. Compared to the well-studied case of sedimenting rigid rods, the intro…
