Optimum control strategies for maximum thrust production in underwater undulatory swimming
L. fu, S. Israilov, J. Sanchez Rodriguez +4
Fishes, cetaceans, and many other aquatic vertebrates undulate their bodies to propel themselves through water. Swimming requires an intricate interplay between sensing the environ…
Scaling the tail beat frequency and swimming speed in underwater undulatory swimming
Jesús Sánchez-Rodríguez, Christophe Raufaste, Mederic Argentina
Due to its great efficiency and maneuverability, undulatory swimming is the predominant form of locomotion in aquatic vertebrates. A myriad of animals of different species and size…
Collapse of a hemicatenoid bounded by a solid wall: instability and dynamics driven by surface Plateau border friction
Christophe Raufaste, Simon Cox, Raymond E. Goldstein +1
The collapse of a catenoidal soap film when the rings supporting it are moved beyond a critical separation is a classic problem in interface motion in which there is a balance betw…
Stress-Induced Dinoflagellate Bioluminescence at the Single Cell Level
Maziyar Jalaal, Nico Schramma, Antoine Dode +3
One of the characteristic features of many marine dinoflagellates is their bioluminescence, which lights up nighttime breaking waves or seawater sliced by a ship's prow. While the…
Two dimensional Leidenfrost Droplets in a Hele Shaw Cell
Franck Celestini, Thomas Frisch, A. Cohen +3
We experimentally and theoretically investigate the behavior of Leidenfrost droplets inserted in a Hele-Shaw cell. As a result of the confinement from the two surfaces, the droplet…
Jet impact on a soap film
Geoffroy Kirstetter, Christophe Raufaste, Franck Celestini
We experimentally investigate the impact of a liquid jet on a soap film. We observe that the jet never breaks the film and that two qualitatively different steady regimes may occur…
