Can Magnetic Multilayers Propel Artificial Microswimmers Mimicking Sperm Cells?
Francois Alouges, Antonio DeSimone, Laetitia Giraldi +1
We formulate and solve the equations governing the dynamics of a microscopic artificial swimmer composed of a head and of a tail made of a thin film of permanent magnetic material.…

Pattern selection in a biomechanical model for the growth of walled cells
Vincent Calvez, Laetitia Giraldi
In this paper, we analyse a model for the growth of three-dimensional walled cells. In this model the biomechanical expansion of the cell is coupled with the geometry of its wall.…

Enhanced controllability of low Reynolds number swimmers in the presence of a wall
François Alouges, Laetitia Giraldi
Swimming, i.e., being able to advance in the absence of external forces by performing cyclic shape changes, is particularly demanding at low Reynolds numbers which is the regime of…
