Optimally swimming Stokesian robots
François Alouges, Antonio DeSimone, Luca Heltai +2
We study self propelled stokesian robots composed of assemblies of balls, in dimensions 2 and 3, and prove that they are able to control their position and orientation. This is a r…

Numerical Simulation of Gluey Particles
Aline Lefebvre
We propose here a model and a numerical scheme to compute the motion of rigid particles interacting through the lubrication force. In the case of a particle approaching a plane, we…

Micro-Macro Modelling of an Array of Spheres Interacting Through Lubrication Forces
Aline Lefebvre-Lepot, Bertrand Maury, Aline Lefebvre
We consider here a discrete system of spheres interacting through a lubrication force. This force is dissipative, and singular near contact: it behaves like the reciprocal of inter…
