Characteristics of undulatory locomotion in granular media
Zhiwei Peng, On Shun Pak, Gwynn J. Elfring
Undulatory locomotion is ubiquitous in nature and observed in different media, from the swimming of flagellated microorganisms in biological fluids, to the slithering of snakes on…
Squirming through shear-thinning fluids
Charu Datt, Lailai Zhu, Gwynn J. Elfring +1
Many microorganisms find themselves immersed in fluids displaying non-Newtonian rheological properties such as viscoelasticity and shear-thinning viscosity. The effects of viscoela…
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…
