Fluid-solid-electric energy transport along piezoelectric flags
Y. Xia, O. Doare, S. Michelin
The fluid-solid-electric dynamics of a flexible plate covered by interconnected piezoelectric patches in an axial steady flow are investigated using numerical simulations based on…
Electro-hydrodynamic synchronization of piezoelectric flags
Yifan Xia, Olivier Doare, Sebastien Michelin
Hydrodynamic coupling of flexible flags in axial flows may profoundly influence their flapping dynamics, in particular driving their synchronization. This work investigates the eff…
Autophoretic locomotion from geometric asymmetry
Sebastien Michelin, Eric Lauga
Among the few methods which have been proposed to create small-scale swimmers, those relying on self-phoretic mechanisms present an interesting design challenge in that chemical gr…
A space-averaged model of branched structures
Diego Lopez, Emmanuel de Langre, Sébastien Michelin
Many biological systems and artificial structures are ramified, and present a high geometric complexity. In this work, we propose a space-averaged model of branched systems for con…
On the efficiency of energy harvesting using vortex-induced vibrations of cables
Clement Grouthier, Sebastien Michelin, Remi Bourguet +2
Many technologies based on fluid-structure interaction mechanisms are being developed to harvest energy from geophysical flows. The velocity of such flows is low, and so is their e…
Self-propulsion of pure water droplets by spontaneous Marangoni stress driven motion
Ziane Izri, Marjolein N. van der Linden, Sébastien Michelin +1
We report spontaneous motion in a fully bio-compatible system consisting of pure water droplets in an oil-surfactant medium of squalane and monoolein. Water from the droplet is sol…
