Peeling threshold for removal of an adhered elastic sheet by a shear flow
Hugo Perrin, Lorenzo Botto
Fluid shear can induce detachment of a thin elastic sheet adhered to a flat substrate. This peeling process is important in a variety of environmental and technological systems. Th…

Flapping instability of elastic disks in Stokes flows
Yijiang Yu, Hugo Perrin, Michael D. Graham +1
Fluid-structure interactions at low Reynolds number can lead to a much richer phenomenology than previously expected. Here, we study the dynamics of a freely suspended, thin elasti…

Effect of thermal fluctuations on the average shape of a graphene nanosheet suspended in a shear flow
Simon Gravelle, Catherine Kamal, Lorenzo Botto
Graphene nanosheets display large hydrodynamic slip lengths in most solvents, and because of this, adopt a stable orientation in a shear flow instead of rotating when thermal fluct…
