A space-averaged model of branched structures
Diego Lopez, Emmanuel de Langre, Sébastien Michelin
Many biological systems and artificial structures are ramified, and present a high geometric complexity. In this work, we propose a space-averaged model of branched systems for con…
On the efficiency of energy harvesting using vortex-induced vibrations of cables
Clement Grouthier, Sebastien Michelin, Remi Bourguet +2
Many technologies based on fluid-structure interaction mechanisms are being developed to harvest energy from geophysical flows. The velocity of such flows is low, and so is their e…
Self-propulsion of pure water droplets by spontaneous Marangoni stress driven motion
Ziane Izri, Marjolein N. van der Linden, Sébastien Michelin +1
We report spontaneous motion in a fully bio-compatible system consisting of pure water droplets in an oil-surfactant medium of squalane and monoolein. Water from the droplet is sol…
