Emergence of bimodal motility in active droplets
Babak Vajdi Hokmabad, Ranabir Dey, Maziyar Jalaal +5
To explore and react to their environment, living micro-swimmers have developed sophisticated strategies for locomotion - in particular, motility with multiple gaits. To understand…
Topological Stabilization and Dynamics of Self-propelling Nematic Shells
Babak Vajdi Hokmabad, Kyle A. Baldwin, Carsten Krüger +2
Liquid shells (e.g. double emulsions, vesicles etc.) are susceptible to interfacial instability and rupturing when driven out of mechanical equilibrium. This poses a significant ch…
Magnetic Levitation Stabilized by Streaming Fluid Flows
K. A. Baldwin, J. -B. de Fouchier, P. Atkinson +3
We demonstrate that the ubiquitous laboratory magnetic stirrer provides a simple passive method of magnetic levitation, in which the so-called `flea' levitates indefinitely. We stu…
The Rotating Rayleigh-Taylor Instability
Matthew M. Scase, Kyle A. Baldwin, Richard J. A. Hill
The effect of rotation upon the classical two-layer Rayleigh-Taylor instability is considered theoretically and compared with previous experimental results. In particular we consid…
Propulsion of a two-sphere swimmer
Daphne Klotsa, Kyle A. Baldwin, Richard J. A. Hill +2
We describe experiments and simulations demonstrating the propulsion of a neutrally-buoyant swimmer that consists of a pair of spheres attached by a spring, immersed in a vibrating…
Drying and deposition of poly(ethylene oxide) droplets determined by Péclet number
Kyle Anthony Baldwin, Manon Granjard, David Willmer +2
We report results of a detailed experimental investigation into the drying of sessile droplets of aqueous poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) polymer solutions under various experimental co…
