Droplets sitting on thin elastic sheets: A study with the boundary element method
Salik Sultan, Josua Grawitter, Gonçalo C. Antunes +1
Elasto-capillarity of a droplet wetting an elastic sheet provides an interesting system, both for fundamental and applied research. The droplet sinks into the sheet and assumes the…

Confinement-induced motion of ciliates
G. C. Antunes, C. Obst, H. Stark
The time dynamics of flagellar and ciliary beating is often neglected in theories of microswimmers, with the most common models prescribing a time-constant actuation of the surroun…

Spontaneous Emergence of Solitary Waves in Active Flow Networks with Elastic Elements
Rodrigo Fernández-Quevedo García, Gonçalo Cruz Antunes, Jens Harting +6
Flow networks are fundamental for understanding systems such as animal and plant vasculature or power distribution grids. These networks can encode, transmit, and transform informa…
