Viscous Taylor droplets in axisymmetric and planar tubes: from Bretherton's theory to empirical models
Gioele Balestra, Lailai Zhu, François Gallaire
The aim of this study is to derive accurate models for quantities characterizing the dynamics of droplets of non-vanishing viscosity in capillaries. In particular, we propose model…

Swimming with a cage: Low-Reynolds-number locomotion inside a droplet
Shang Yik Reigh, Lailai Zhu, François Gallaire +1
Inspired by recent experiments using synthetic microswimmers to manipulate droplets, we investigate the low-Reynolds-number locomotion of a model swimmer (a spherical squirmer) enc…
