Steady translation of a chemically active viscous drop along a rigid wall
Nikhil Desai, Sébastien Michelin
Chemically active drops release a chemical solute, gradients in whose concentration cause interfacial flows that advect the emitted solute. This non-linear coupling between solute…
Marangoni swimmer pushing particle raft under 1D confinement
Abhradeep Maitra, Anupam Pandey, Sebastien Michelin +1
Active matter systems, due to their spontaneous self-propulsion ability, hold potential for future applications in healthcare and environmental sustainability. Marangoni swimmers,…
Colloidal bubble propulsion mediated through viscous flows
Alexander Chamolly, Sébastien Michelin, Eric Lauga
Bubble-propelled catalytic colloids stand out as a uniquely efficient design for artificial controllable micromachines, but so far lack a general theoretical framework that explain…
Self-organisation of auto-phoretic suspensions in confined shear flows
Prathmesh Vinze, Sebastien Michelin
Janus phoretic particles exploit chemical energy stored in their environment to self-propel. These active particles modify and respond to their hydrodynamic and chemical environmen…
Steady state propulsion of isotropic active colloids along a wall
Nikhil Desai, Sebastien Michelin
Active drops emit/absorb chemical solutes, whose concentration gradients cause interfacial flows driving their own transport and the propulsion of the droplet. Such non-linear coup…
Collective dynamics and rheology of confined phoretic suspensions
Tullio Traverso, Sebastien Michelin
Similarly to their biological counterparts, suspensions of chemically-active autophoretic swimmers exhibit nontrivial dynamics involving self-organization processes as a result of…
