Seeing new depths: Three-dimensional flow of a free-swimming alga

Gregorius Pradipta, Wanho Lee, Van Tran +8

A swimming microorganism stirs the surrounding fluid, creating a flow field that governs not only its locomotion and nutrient uptake, but also its interactions with other microorga…

Molecular chaos in dense active systems

Lu Chen, Kyle J. Welch, Premkumar Leishangthem +7

The hypothesis of molecular chaos plays the central role in kinetic theory, which provides a closure leading to the Boltzmann equation for quantitative description of classic fluid…

Atomistic study of macroscopic analogs to short chain molecules

Kyle J. Welch, Clayton S. G. Kilmer, Eric I. Corwin

We use a bath of chaotic surface waves in water to mechanically and macroscopically mimic the thermal behavior of a short articulated chain with only nearest-neighbor interactions.…

Ion-sensitive phase transitions driven by Debye-Hückel non-ideality

Kyle J. Welch, Fred Gittes

We find that the Debye-Hückel nonideality of dilute aqueous electrolytes is sufficient to drive volume phase transitions and criticality, even in the absence of a self-attracting o…

Ionic phase transitions in non-ideal systems

Kyle J. Welch, Fred Gittes

We construct an explicitly solvable Landau mean-field theory for volume phase transitions of confined or fixed ions driven by relative concentrations of divalent and monovalent cou…
