Nutrient Transport in Concentration Gradients
Jingyi Liu, Yi Man, Eva Kanso
Sessile ciliates attach to substrates and generate feeding currents to capture passing particulates and dissolved nutrients. Optimal ciliary activity that maximizes nutrient flux a…
Optimal Feeding of Swimming and Attached Ciliates
Jingyi Liu, Yi Man, John H. Costello +1
Ciliated microorganisms near the base of the aquatic food chain either swim to encounter prey or attach at a substrate and generate feeding currents to capture passing particles. H…
Connections between propulsive efficiency and wake structure via modal decomposition
Morgan R. Jones, Mitul Luhar, Eva Kanso
We present experiments on oscillating hydrofoils undergoing combined heaving and pitching motions, paying particular attention to connections between propulsive efficiency and cohe…
Elastic snap-through instabilities are governed by geometric symmetries
Basile Radisson, Eva Kanso
Many elastic structures exhibit rapid shape transitions between two possible equilibrium states: umbrellas become inverted in strong wind and hopper popper toys jump when turned in…
Dynamic behavior of elastic strips near shape transition
Basile Radisson, Eva Kanso
Elastic strips provide a canonical system for studying the mechanisms governing elastic shape transitions. Buckling, linear snap-through, and nonlinear snap-through have been obser…
Evaluating Evasion Strategies in Zebrafish Larvae
Yusheng Jiao, Brendan Colvert, Yi Man +2
An effective evasion strategy allows prey to survive encounters with predators. Prey are generally thought to escape in a direction that is either random or serves to maximize the…
