Energy harvesting efficiency of piezoelectric flags in axial flows
Sebastien Michelin, Olivier Doare
Self-sustained oscillations resulting from fluid-solid instabilities, such as the flutter of a flexible flag in axial flow, can be used to harvest energy if one is able to convert…

Unsteady feeding and optimal strokes of model ciliates
Sebastien Michelin, Eric Lauga
The flow field created by swimming microorganisms not only enables their locomotion but also leads to advective transport of nutrients. In this paper we address analytically and co…
