Rough wall effect on micro-swimmers
David Gérard-Varet, Laetitia Giraldi
We study the effect of a rough wall on the controllability of micro-swimmers made of several balls linked by thin jacks: the so-called 3-sphere and 4-sphere swimmers. We show that…
The influence of boundary conditions on the contact problem in a 3D Navier-Stokes Flow
David Gérard-Varet, Matthieu Hillairet, Chao Wang
We consider the free fall of a sphere above a wall in a viscous incompressible fluid. We investigate the influence of boundary conditions on the finite-time occurrence of contact b…
Computation of the effective slip of rough hydrophobic surfaces via homogenization
Matthieu Bonnivard, Anne-Laure Dalibard, David Gérard-Varet
We present a quantitative analysis of the effect of rough hydrophobic surfaces on viscous newtonian flows. We use a model introduced by Ybert and coauthors in which the rough surfa…
