Confined self-propulsion of an isotropic active colloid
Francesco Picella, Sebastien Michelin
To spontaneously break their intrinsic symmetry and self-propel at the micron scale, isotropic active colloidal particles and droplets exploit the non-linear convective transport o…
Instability and self-propulsion of active droplets along a wall
Nikhil Desai, Sebastien Michelin
Active droplets can swim spontaneously in viscous flows as a result of the non-linear convective transport of a chemical solute produced at their surface by the Marangoni and/or ph…
Hydrochemical interactions of phoretic particles: a regularized multipole framework
Francisco Rojas-Perez, Blaise Delmotte, Sebastien Michelin
Chemically-active colloids modify the concentration of chemical solutes surrounding them in order to self-propel. In doing so, they generate long-ranged hydrodynamic flows and chem…
Self-propulsion in 2D Confinement: Phoretic and Hydrodynamic Interactions
Akash Choudhary, K. V. S. Chaithanya, Sébastien Michelin +1
Chemically active Janus particles generate tangential concentration gradients along their surface for self-propulsion. Although this is well studied in unbounded domains, the analy…
