Restructuring a passive colloidal suspension using a rotationally driven particle
Shih-Yuan Chen, Hector Lopez-Rios, Monica Olvera de la Cruz +1
The interaction between passive and active/driven particles has introduced a new way to control colloidal suspension properties from particle aggregation to crystallization. Here,…
Electric Fields Near Undulating Dielectric Membranes
Nicholas Pogharian, Alexandre P. dos Santos, Ali Ehlen +1
Dielectric interfaces are crucial to the behavior of charged membranes, from graphene to synthetic and biological lipid bilayers. Understanding electrolyte behavior near these inte…
Taylor halos and Taylor spears in odd viscous liquids
E. Kirkinis, M. Olvera de la Cruz
A body placed in a rigidly-rotating fluid becomes circumscribed by a fictitious cylinder with generators parallel to the axis of rotation, a Taylor column. Slowly-moving liquid imp…
Patterning of multicomponent elastic shells by Gaussian curvature
Curt Waltmann, Ahis Shrestha, Monica Olvera de la Cruz
Recent findings suggest that shell protein distribution and morphology of bacterial microcompartments regulate the chemical fluxes facilitating reactions which dictate their biolog…
Evanescent and inertial-like waves in rigidly-rotating odd viscous liquids
E. Kirkinis, M. Olvera de la Cruz
Three-dimensional non-rotating odd viscous liquids give rise to Taylor columns and support {axisymmetric} inertial-like waves [\emph{J. Fluid Mech.}, vol. {973}, A30, (2023)]. When…
Hydrodynamics of thermally-driven chiral propulsion and separation
E. Kirkinis, A. V. Andreev, M. Olvera de la Cruz
Considerable effort has been directed towards the characterization of chiral mesoscale structures, as shown in chiral protein assemblies and carbon nanotubes. Here, we establish a…
