Amphibious Transport of Fluids and Solids by Soft Magnetic Carpets
Ahmet F. Demirörs, Sümeyye Aykut, Sophia Ganzeboom +8
One of the major challenges in modern robotics is controlling micromanipulation by active and adaptive materials. In the respiratory system, such actuation enables pathogen clearan…
Autonomously Probing Viscoelasticity in Disordered Suspensions
Clara Abaurrea-Velasco, Celia Lozano, Clemens Bechinger +1
Recent experiments show a strong rotational-diffusion enhancement for self-propelled microrheological probes in colloidal glasses. Here, we provide microscopic understanding using…
Height Distribution and Orientation of Colloidal Dumbbells Near a Wall
Ruben W. Verweij, Stefania Ketzetzi, Joost de Graaf +1
Geometric confinement strongly influences the behavior of microparticles in liquid environments. However, to date, nonspherical particle behaviors close to confining boundaries, ev…
An extensible lattice Boltzmann method for viscoelastic flows: complex and moving boundaries in Oldroyd-B fluids
Michael Kuron, Cameron Stewart, Joost de Graaf +1
Most biological fluids are viscoelastic, meaning that they have elastic properties in addition to the dissipative properties found in Newtonian fluids. Computational models can hel…
Hydrodynamic Mobility Reversal of Squirmers near Flat and Curved Surfaces
Michael Kuron, Philipp Stärk, Christian Holm +1
Self-propelled particles have been experimentally shown to orbit spherical obstacles and move along surfaces. Here, we theoretically and numerically investigate this behavior for a…
A Lattice Boltzmann Model for Squirmers
Michael Kuron, Philipp Stärk, Christian Burkard +2
The squirmer is a simple yet instructive model for microswimmers, which employs an effective slip velocity on the surface of a spherical swimmer to describe its self-propulsion. We…
