High-Density Monocular 3D Particle Image Velocimetry by Wavefront Shaping and Deep Learning
Dafei Xiao, Jibu Tom Jose, Amit Parizat +4
Three-dimensional (3D) Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) measures flow velocities by imaging laser-illuminated tracer particles seeded in a fluid, and is widely used in both academi…
Undulatory locomotion of {\it C. elegans} on wet surfaces
Xiao N. Shen, J. Sznitman, P. Krajacic +2
The physical and bio-mechanical principles that govern undulatory movement on wet surfaces have important applications in physiology, physics, and engineering. The nematode {\it C.…
Multi-environment model estimation for motility analysis of Caenorhabditis Elegans
Raphael Sznitman, Manaswi Gupta, Gregory D. Hager +2
The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans is a well-known model organism used to investigate fundamental questions in biology. Motility assays of this small roundworm are designed to stu…
Motility of small nematodes in disordered wet granular media
G. Juarez, K. Lu, J. Sznitman +1
The motility of the worm nematode \textit{Caenorhabditis elegans} is investigated in shallow, wet granular media as a function of particle size dispersity and area density (). S…
The effects of fluid viscosity on the kinematics and material properties of C. elegans swimming at low Reynolds number
Josue Sznitman, Xiaoning Shen, Prashant K Purohit +1
The effects of fluid viscosity on the kinematics of a small swimmer at low Reynolds number are investigated in both experiments and in a simple model. The swimmer is the nematode C…
Material properties of of Caenorhabditis elegans swimming at low Reynolds number
Josue Sznitman, Prashant K. Purohit, Predrag Krajacic +2
Undulatory locomotion, as seen in the nematode \emph{Caenorhabditis elegans}, is a common swimming gait of organisms in the low Reynolds number regime, where viscous forces are dom…
