Effects of surface viscosities on the motion of a droplet enclosing a translating particle
Ali Gürbüz, Hervé Nganguia, Guangpu Zhu +3
We investigate the influence of interfacial rheology on the motion of a compound particle consisting of a viscous droplet enclosing a translating rigid particle in the Stokes flow…
Tunable Memory and Activity of Quincke Particles in Micellar Fluid
Yang Yang, Meng Fei Zhang, Lailai Zhu +1
Memory can remarkably modify the collective behaviors of active particles. We show that in a micellar fluid, Quincke particles driven by a square-wave electric field exhibit a freq…
Self-propulsion of an elliptic phoretic disk emitting solute uniformly
Guangpu Zhu, Lailai Zhu
Self-propulsion of chemically active droplet and phoretic disk has been widely studied; however, most research overlooks the influence of disk shape on swimming dynamics. Inspired…
Shaping active matter from crystalline solids to active turbulence
Qianhong Yang, Maoqiang Jiang, Francesco Picano +1
Active matter drives its constituent agents to move autonomously by harnessing free energy, leading to diverse emergent states with relevance to both biological processes and inani…
Viscoelastic levitation
Yunxing Su, Alfonso Castillo, On Shun Pak +2
The effects of viscoelasticity have been shown to manifest themselves via symmetry breaking. In this investigation, we show a novel phenomenon that arises from this idea. We observ…
Optimising low-Reynolds-number predation via optimal control and reinforcement learning
Guangpu Zhu, Wen. -Zhen Fang, Lailai Zhu
We seek the best stroke sequences of a finite-size swimming predator chasing a non-motile point or finite--size prey at low Reynolds number. We use optimal control to seek the glob…
