Analytical methods for cytoplasmic streaming in elongated cells
Pyae Hein Htet, Eric Lauga
Cytoplasmic streaming, the coherent flow of cytoplasm, plays a critical role in transport and mixing over large scales in eukaryotic cells. In many large cells, this process is dri…
Rotational mobility in spherical membranes: The interplay between Saffman-Delbrück length and inclusion size
Marco Vona, Eric Lauga
The mobility of particles in fluid membranes is a fundamental aspect of many biological processes. In a 1975 paper [1], Saffman and Delbrück demonstrated how the presence of extern…
Hydrodynamic hovering of swimming bacteria above surfaces
Pyae Hein Htet, Debasish Das, Eric Lauga
Flagellated bacteria are hydrodynamically attracted to rigid walls, yet past work shows a 'hovering' state where they swim stably at a finite height above surfaces. We use numerics…
Physical mechanism reveals bacterial slowdown above a critical number of flagella
Maria Tătulea-Codrean, Eric Lauga
Numerous studies have explored the link between bacterial swimming and the number of flagella, a distinguishing feature of motile multiflagellated bacteria. We revisit this open qu…
