Excess shear force exerted on oscillating plate due to a nearby particle
Itzhak Fouxon, Boris Rubinstein, Alexander M. Leshansky
In the present paper we theoretically study the shear force exerted on an infinite horizontal plane undergoing fast lateral oscillations in presence of a rigid particle suspended i…
The effect of a wall on the interaction of two spheres in shear flow: Batchelor-Green theory revisited
Itzhak Fouxon, Boris Rubinstein, Zhouyang Ge +2
The seminal Batchelor-Green's (BG) theory on the hydrodynamic interaction of two spherical particles of radii a suspended in a viscous shear flow neglects the effect of the boundar…
Unidirectional propulsion of planar magnetic nanomachines
Kevin-Joshua Cohen, Boris Y. Rubinstein, Oded Kenneth +1
Steering of magnetic nano-/microhelices by a rotating magnetic field is considered as a promising technique for controlled navigation of tiny objects through viscous fluidic enviro…
Integral representation of channel flow with interacting particles
Itzhak Fouxon, Zhouyang Ge, Luca Brandt +1
We construct a boundary integral representation for the low-Reynolds-number flow in a channel in the presence of freely-suspended particles (or droplets) of arbitrary size and shap…
Surface tank-treading: propulsion of Purcell's toroidal swimmer
Alexander Leshansky, Oded Kenneth
In this work we address the "smoking ring" propulsion technique, originally proposed by E. M. Purcell. We first consider self-locomotion of a doughnut-shaped swimmer powered by sur…
Comment on "Self-Running Droplet: Emergence of Regular Motion from Nonequilibrium Noise"
V. Berejnov, A. Leshansky
In a recent Letter (Y. Sumino et al., PRL 94, 068301 (2005)) a spontaneous motion of an oil droplet in the surrounding aqueous media along a glass surface was reported. The authors…
