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…

Locomotion by tangential deformation in a polymeric fluid
Lailai ZHu, Minh Do-Quang, Eric Lauga +1
In several biologically relevant situations, cell locomotion occurs in polymeric fluids with Weissenberg {number} larger than one. Here we present results of three-dimensional nume…
