Enhanced flight performance in non-uniformly flexible wings
Lionel Vincent, Min Zheng, John H. Costello +1
The flexibility of biological propulsors such as wings and fins is believed to contribute to the higher performance of flying and swimming animals compared with their engineered pe…
Phoretic and hydrodynamic interactions of weakly-confined autophoretic particles
Eva Kanso, Sebastien Michelin
Phoretic particles self-propel using self-generated physico-chemical gradients at their surface. Within a suspension, they interact hydrodynamically by setting the fluid around the…
Instability-driven Oscillations of Elastic Microfilaments
Feng Ling, Hanliang Guo, Eva Kanso
Cilia and flagella are highly conserved slender organelles that exhibit a variety of rhythmic beating patterns from non-planar cone-like motions to planar wave-like deformations. A…
Fluid dynamics of diving wedges
Lionel Vincent, Tingben Xiao, Daniel Yohann +2
Diving induces large pressures during water entry, accompanied by the creation of cavity and water splash ejected from the free water surface. To minimize impact forces, divers str…
Mucociliary Transport in Healthy and Diseased Environments
Hanliang Guo, Eva Kanso
Mucociliary clearance in the lung is the primary defense mechanism that protects the airways from inhaled toxicants and infectious agents. The system consists of a viscoelastic muc…
Fishlike Rheotaxis
Brendan Colvert, Eva Kanso
Fish rheotaxis, or alignment into flow currents, results from intertwined sensory, neural and actuation mechanisms, all coupled with hydrodynamics to produce a behavior that is cri…
