Tesla's fluidic diode and the electronic-hydraulic analogy
Quynh M. Nguyen, Dean Huang, Evan Zauderer +3
Reasoning by analogy is powerful in physics for students and researchers alike, a case in point being electronics and hydraulics as analogous studies of electric currents and fluid…
Flow rectification in loopy network models of bird lungs
Quynh M. Nguyen, Anand U. Oza, Joanna Abouezzi +4
We demonstrate flow rectification, valveless pumping or AC-to-DC conversion in macroscale fluidic networks with loops. Inspired by the unique anatomy of bird lungs and the phenomen…
Early turbulence and pulsatile flows enhance diodicity of Tesla's macrofluidic valve
Quynh M. Nguyen, Joanna Abouezzi, Leif Ristroph
Microfluidics has enabled a revolution in the manipulation of small volumes of fluids. Controlling flows at larger scales and faster rates, or , has broad a…
Metallic Microswimmers Driven up the Wall by Gravity
Quentin Brosseau, Florencio Balboa Usabiaga, Enkeleida Lushi +5
As a natural and functional behavior, various microorganisms exhibit gravitaxis by orienting and swimming upwards against gravity. Swimming autophoretic nanomotors described herein…
Relating microswimmer synthesis to rheotactic tunability
Quentin Brosseau, Florencio Balboa Usabiaga, Enkeleida Lushi +5
We explore the behavior of micron-scale autophoretic Janus (Au/Pt) rods, having various Au/Pt length ratios, swimming near a wall in an imposed background flow. We find that their…
Lattices of hydrodynamically interacting flapping swimmers
Anand U. Oza, Leif Ristroph, Michael J. Shelley
Fish schools and bird flocks exhibit complex collective dynamics whose self-organization principles are largely unknown. The influence of hydrodynamics on such collectives has been…
