Stability versus Maneuverability in Hovering Flight
Yangyang Huang, Monika Nitsche, Eva Kanso
Insects and birds are often faced by opposing requirements for agile and stable flight. Here, we explore the interplay between aerodynamic effort, maneuverability, and stability in…
Circularly-confined microswimmers exhibit multiple global patterns
Alan Cheng Hou Tsang, Eva Kanso
Geometric confinement plays an important role in the dynamics of natural and synthetic microswimmers from bacterial cells to self-propelled particles in high-throughput microfluidi…
Flagella-induced transitions in the collective behavior of confined microswimmers
Alan Cheng Hou Tsang, Eva Kanso
Bacteria exist in a free-swimming state or in a sessile biofilm state. The transition from free-swimming to sessile mode is characterized by changes in gene expression which alter,…
Cilia beating patterns are not hydrodynamically optimal
Hanliang Guo, Janna Nawroth, Yang Ding +1
We examine the hydrodynamic performance of two cilia beating patterns reconstructed from experimental data. In their respective natural systems, the two beating patterns correspond…
