Viscous growth and rebound of a bubble near a rigid surface
Sebastien Michelin, Giacomo Gallino, Francois Gallaire +1
Motivated by the dynamics of microbubbles near catalytic surfaces in bubble-powered microrockets, we consider theoretically the growth of a free spherical bubble near a flat no-sli…
Self-propulsion near the onset of Marangoni instability of deformable active droplets
Matvey Morozov, Sebastien Michelin
Experimental observations indicate that chemically active droplets suspended in a surfactant-laden fluid can self-propel spontaneously. The onset of this motion is attributed to a…
Clustering-induced self-propulsion of isotropic autophoretic particles
Akhil Varma, Thomas D. Montenegro-Johnson, Sebastien Michelin
Self-diffusiophoretic particles exploit local concentration gradients of a solute species in order to self-propel at the micron scale. While an isolated chemically- and geometrical…
Physics of Bubble-Propelled Microrockets
Giacomo Gallino, Francois Gallaire, Eric Lauga +1
A popular method to induce synthetic propulsion at the microscale is to use the forces created by surface-produced gas bubbles inside the asymmetric body of a catalytic swimmer (re…
Collective dissolution of microbubbles
Sébastien Michelin, Etienne Guérin, Eric Lauga
A microscopic bubble of soluble gas always dissolves in finite time in an under-saturated fluid. This diffusive process is driven by the difference between the gas concentration ne…
