A bending fluctuation-based mechanism for particle detection by ciliated structures
Jean-Baptiste Thomazo, Benjamin Le Révérend, Léa-Laetitia Pontani +2
To mimic the mechanical response of passive biological cilia in complex fluids, we study the bending dynamics of an anchored elastic fiber submitted to a dilute granular suspension…
