Hydro-chemical interactions in dilute phoretic suspensions: from individual particle properties to collective organization
Tullio Traverso, Sebastien Michelin
Janus phoretic colloids (JPs) self-propel as a result of self-generated chemical gradients and exhibit spontaneous nontrivial dynamics within phoretic suspensions, on length scales…
Acoustic propulsion of a small bottom-heavy sphere
Francois Nadal, Sebastien Michelin
We present here a comprehensive derivation for the speed of a small bottom-heavy sphere forced by a transverse acoustic field and thereby establish how density inhomogeneities may…
Flutter and resonances of a flag near a free surface
J. Mougel, S. Michelin
We investigate the effects of a nearby free surface on the stability of a flexible plate in axial flow. Confinement by rigid boundaries is known to affect flag flutter thresholds a…
Slender Phoretic Theory of chemically active filaments
Panayiota Katsamba, Sébastien Michelin, Thomas D. Montenegro-Johnson
Artificial microswimmers, or "microbots" have the potential to revolutionise non-invasive medicine and microfluidics. Microbots that are powered by self-phoretic mechanisms, such a…
