Supercoiled ring polymers under shear flow
Christoph Schneck, Jan Smrek, Christos N. Likos +1
We apply monomer-resolved computer simulations of supercoiled ring polymers under shear, taking full account of the hydrodynamic interactions, accompanied, in parallel, by simulati…
Asymmetric bistability of chiral particle orientation in viscous shear flows
Andreas Zöttl, Francesca Tesser, Daiki Matsunaga +3
The migration of helical particles in viscous shear flows plays a crucial role in chiral particle sorting. Attaching a non-chiral head to a helical particle leads to a rheotactic t…
Chirality-induced bacterial rheotaxis in bulk shear flows
Guangyin Jing, Andreas Zöttl, Éric Clément +1
Interaction of swimming bacteria with flows controls their ability to explore complex environments, crucial to many societal and environmental challenges and relevant for microflui…
Driven spheres, ellipsoids and rods in explicitly modeled polymer solutions
Andreas Zöttl, Julia M. Yeomans
Understanding the transport of driven nano- and micro-particles in complex fluids is of relevance for many biological and technological applications. Here we perform hydrodynamic m…
Oscillatory surface rheotaxis of swimming E. coli bacteria
Arnold Mathijssen, Nuris Figueroa-Morales, Gaspard Junot +3
Bacterial contamination of biological conducts, catheters or water resources is a major threat to public health and can be amplified by the ability of bacteria to swim upstream. Th…
Far-field theory for trajectories of magnetic ellipsoids in rectangular and circular channels
Daiki Matsunaga, Andreas Zöttl, Fanlong Meng +2
We report a method to control the positions of ellipsoidal magnets in flowing channels of rectangular or circular cross section at low Reynolds number.A static uniform magnetic fie…
