Vertical motion of a periodically driven floating disc
Anand U. Oza, Jack-William Barotta, Eli Silver +1
We present the results of a combined theoretical and experimental investigation into the vertical dynamics of floating discs subjected to an imposed time-periodic forcing. The axis…
Traveling waves in a continuum model of schooling swimmers
Anand U. Oza, Eva Kanso, Michael J. Shelley
The complex formations exhibited by schooling fish have long been the object of fascination for biologists and physicists. However, the physical and sensory mechanisms leading to o…
Theoretical modeling of capillary surfer interactions on a vibrating fluid bath
Anand U. Oza, Giuseppe Pucci, Ian Ho +1
We present and analyze a theoretical model for the dynamics and interactions of "capillary surfers," which are millimetric objects that self-propel while floating at the interface…
Generalization of waving-plate theory to multiple interacting swimmers
Peter J. Baddoo, Nicholas J. Moore, Anand U. Oza +1
Early research in aerodynamics and biological propulsion was dramatically advanced by the analytical solutions of Theodorsen, von Kármán, Wu and others. While these classical solut…
Flow rectification in loopy network models of bird lungs
Quynh M. Nguyen, Anand U. Oza, Joanna Abouezzi +4
We demonstrate flow rectification, valveless pumping or AC-to-DC conversion in macroscale fluidic networks with loops. Inspired by the unique anatomy of bird lungs and the phenomen…
Capillary surfers: wave-driven particles at a vibrating fluid interface
Ian Ho, Giuseppe Pucci, Anand U. Oza +1
We present an experimental study of capillary surfers, a new fluid-mediated active system that bridges the gap between dissipation- and inertia-dominated regimes. Surfers are wave-…
