Drag Reduction, from Bending to Pruning
Diego Lopez, Christophe Eloy, Sébastien Michelin +1
Most plants and benthic organisms have evolved efficient reconfiguration mechanisms to resist flow-induced loads. These mechanisms can be divided into bending, in which plants redu…

Flow-induced pruning of branched systems and brittle reconfiguration
Diego Lopez, Sebastien Michelin, Emmanuel de Langre
Whereas most plants are flexible structures that undergo large deformations under flow, another process can occur when the plant is broken by heavy fluid-loading. We investigate he…
