Self-learning how to swim at low Reynolds number
Alan Cheng Hou Tsang, Pun Wai Tong, Shreyes Nallan +1
Synthetic microswimmers show great promise in biomedical applications such as drug delivery and microsurgery. Their locomotion, however, is subject to stringent constraints due to…
Swimming efficiency in a shear-thinning fluid
Herve Nganguia, Kyle Pietrzyk, On Shun Pak
Micro-organisms expend energy moving through complex media. While propulsion speed is an important property of locomotion, efficiency is another factor that may determine the swimm…
A note on the breathing mode of an elastic sphere in Newtonian and complex fluids
Vahe Galstyan, On Shun Pak, Howard A. Stone
Experiments on the acoustic vibrations of elastic nanostructures in fluid media have been used to study the mechanical properties of materials, as well as for mechanical and biolog…
Micropropulsion and microrheology in complex fluids via symmetry breaking
On Shun Pak, Lailai Zhu, Luca Brandt +1
Many biological fluids have polymeric microstructures and display non-Newtonian rheology. We take advantage of such nonlinear fluid behavior and combine it with geometrical symmetr…
Hydrodynamics of the double-wave structure of insect spermatozoa flagella
On Shun Pak, Saverio E. Spagnolie, Eric Lauga
In addition to conventional planar and helical flagellar waves, insect sperm flagella have also been observed to display a double-wave structure characterized by the presence of tw…
