The Scallop Theorem and Swimming at the Mesoscale
Maxime Hubert, Oleg Trosman, Ylona Collard +4
By synergistically combining modeling, simulation and experiments, we show that there exists a regime of self-propulsion in which the inertia in the fluid dynamics can be separated…
Magnetocapillary self-assemblies: locomotion and micromanipulation along a liquid interface
Galien Grosjean, Maxime Hubert, Nicolas Vandewalle
This paper presents an overview and discussion of magnetocapillary self-assemblies. New results are presented, in particular concerning the possible development of future applicati…
Rotation of a melting ice at the surface of a pool
S. Dorbolo, N. Adami, C. Dubois +3
Large circular ice blocks up to 80 m of diameter have been observed on frozen river around the world. This rare event has been reported in a publication in 1993. This fascinating s…
Remote control of self-assembled microswimmers
Galien Grosjean, Guillaume Lagubeau, Alexis Darras +3
Physics governing the locomotion of microorganisms and other microsystems is dominated by viscous damping. An effective swimming strategy involves the non-reciprocal and periodic d…
Compound droplet manipulations on fiber arrays
Floriane Weyer, Marjorie Lismont, Laurent Dreesen +1
Recent works demonstrated that fiber arrays may constitue the basis of an open digital microfluidics. Various processes, such as droplet motion, fragmentation, trapping, release, m…
Faraday instability on a network
G. Delon, D. Terwagne, N. Vandewalle +2
Faraday waves are generated at the air/liquid interface inside an array of square cells. As the free surface inside each cell is destabilizing due to the oscillations, the shape of…
Resonant and rolling droplet
S. Dorbolo, D. Terwagne, N. Vandewalle +1
When an oil droplet is placed on a quiescent oil bath, it eventually collapses into the bath due to gravity. The resulting coalescence may be eliminated when the bath is vertically…
