Non-bilaterians as Model Systems for Tissue Mechanics
Setareh Gooshvar, Gopika Madhu, Melissa Ruszczyk +1
In animals, epithelial tissues are barriers against the external environment, providing protection against biological, chemical, and physical damage. Depending on the animal's phys…
Culinary fluid mechanics and other currents in food science
Arnold J. T. M. Mathijssen, Maciej Lisicki, Vivek N. Prakash +1
Innovations in fluid mechanics are leading to better food since ancient history, while creativity in cooking inspires applied and fundamental science. Here, we review how recent ad…
Ciliary flocking and emergent instabilities enable collective agility in a non-neuromuscular animal
Matthew S. Bull, Vivek N. Prakash, Manu Prakash
Effective organismal behavior responds appropriately to changes in the surrounding environment. Attaining this delicate balance of sensitivity and stability is a hallmark of the an…
Rapid behavioral transitions produce chaotic mixing by a planktonic microswimmer
William Gilpin, Vivek N. Prakash, Manu Prakash
Despite their vast morphological diversity, many invertebrates have similar larval forms characterized by ciliary bands, innervated arrays of beating cilia that facilitate swimming…
Vortex arrays and ciliary tangles underlie the feeding-swimming tradeoff in starfish larvae
William Gilpin, Vivek N. Prakash, Manu Prakash
Many marine invertebrates have larval stages covered in linear arrays of beating cilia, which propel the animal while simultaneously entraining planktonic prey. These bands are str…
The role of viscosity contrast on plume structure in laboratory modeling of mantle convection
Vivek N. Prakash, K. R. Sreenivas, Jaywant H. Arakeri
We have conducted laboratory experiments to model important aspects of plumes in mantle convection. We focus on the role of the viscosity ratio U (between the ambient fluid and the…
