The hydrodynamic Euler-elastica: shape transitions in the dynamical buckling of elastic filaments in Stokes flow
Clément Moreau, Laetitia Giraldi, Hermes Bloomfield-Gadêlha
The buckling of elastic filaments in viscous fluids, ubiquitous in biological systems like flagella, microtubules, and DNA, has long been described by the static Euler-elastica. Ye…
Harnessing swarms for directed migration of interacting active particles via optimal global control
Chiara Calascibetta, Laëtitia Giraldi, Jérémie Bec
This study investigates the use of global control strategies to enhance the directed migration of swarms of interacting self-propelled particles confined in a channel. Uncontrolled…
Effects of collective patterns, confinement, and fluid flow on active particle transport
Chiara Calascibetta, Laetitia Giraldi, Zakarya El Khiyati +1
The self-organization of active particles on a two-dimensional single-occupancy lattice is investigated, with an emphasis on the effects of boundary confinement and the influence o…
Shapes enhancing the propulsion of multiflagellated helical microswimmers
Luca Berti, Mickaël Binois, François Alouges +3
In this paper we are interested in optimizing the shape of multi-flagellated helical microswimmers. Mimicking the propagation of helical waves along the flagella, they self-propel…
Optimal Actuation of Flagellar Magnetic Micro-Swimmers
Yacine El Alaoui-Faris, Jean-Baptiste Pomet, Stéphane Régnier +1
We present an automated procedure for the design of optimal actuation for flagellar magnetic microswimmers based on numerical optimization. Using this method, a new magnetic actuat…
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.…
