Valveless pumping at low Reynolds numbers
Amselem Gabriel, Clanet Christophe, Benzaquen Michael
Pumping at low Reynolds number is a ubiquitously encountered feature, both in biological organisms and engineered devices. Generating net flow requires the presence of an asymmetry…
Pendulums, Drops and Rods: a physical analogy
Benoît Roman, Cyprien Gay, Christophe Clanet
A liquid meniscus, a bending rod (also called elastica) and a simple pendulum are all described by the same non-dimensional equation. The oscillatory regime of the pendulum corresp…
Hysteretic wave drag in shallow water
GP Benham, R Bendimerad, M Benzaquen +1
During motion from deep to shallow water, multiple equilibria may emerge, each with identical drag - a phenomenon that can be explained by a localised amplification of the wave dra…
Brachistochrone on a Velodrome
GP Benham, C Cohen, E Brunet +1
The Brachistochrone problem, which describes the curve that carries a particle under gravity in a vertical plane from one height to another in the shortest time, is one of the most…
Nanorheology of interfacial water during ice gliding
L. Canale, J. Comtet, A. Nigues +4
The slipperiness of ice is an everyday-life phenomenon which, surprisingly, remains controversial despite a long scientific history. The very small friction measured on ice is clas…
Gait transition in swimming
Remi Carmigniani, Ludovic Seifert, Didier Chollet +1
The skill to swim fast results from the interplay between generating high thrust while minimizing drag. In front crawl, swimmers achieve this goal by adapting their inter-arm coord…
