Geometric capture and escape of a microswimmer colliding with an obstacle
Saverio E. Spagnolie, Gregorio R. Moreno-Flores, Denis Bartolo +1
Motivated by recent experiments, we consider the hydrodynamic capture of a microswimmer near a stationary spherical obstacle. Simulations of model equations show that a swimmer app…
Stability and dynamics of magnetocapillary interactions
Rujeko Chinomona, Janelle Lajeunesse, William H. Mitchell +2
Recent experiments have shown that floating ferromagnetic beads, under the influence of an oscillating background magnetic field, can move along a liquid-air interface in a sustain…
Sedimentation of spheroidal bodies near walls in viscous fluids: glancing, reversing, tumbling, and sliding
William H. Mitchell, Saverio E. Spagnolie
The sedimentation of a rigid particle near a wall in a viscous fluid has been studied numerically by many authors, but analytical solutions have been derived only for special cases…
Locomotion and transport in a hexatic liquid crystal
Madison S. Krieger, Saverio E. Spagnolie, Thomas R. Powers
The swimming behavior of bacteria and other microorganisms is sensitive to the physical properties of the fluid in which they swim. Mucus, biofilms, and artificial liquid-crystalli…
