Flexible filaments buckle into helicoidal shapes in strong compressional flows
Brato Chakrabarti, Yanan Liu, John LaGrone +5
The occurrence of coiled or helical morphologies is common in nature, from plant roots to DNA packaging into viral capsids, as well as in applications such as oil drilling processe…
Bistability in the synchronization of actuated microfilaments
Hanliang Guo, Lisa Fauci, Michael Shelley +1
Cilia and flagella are essential building blocks for biological fluid transport and locomotion at the micron scale. They often beat in synchrony and may transition between differen…
Rotational dynamics of a superhelix towed in a Stokes fluid
Sunghwan Jung, Kathleen Mareck, Lisa Fauci +1
Motivated by the intriguing motility of spirochetes (helically-shaped bacteria that screw through viscous fluids due to the action of internal periplasmic flagella), we examine the…
