Squirming motion near corrugated surfaces
Sagnik Garai, Thomas G. Fai, Christina Kurzthaler
Swimming microorganisms often operate in complex confinement, where an interplay of long-ranged hydrodynamic interactions and a short-ranged repulsive interaction can give rise to…
Fast Solver for the Reynolds Equation on Piecewise Linear Geometries
Sarah Dennis, Thomas G. Fai
The Reynolds equation is derived from the incompressible Navier Stokes equations under the lubrication assumptions of a long and thin domain geometry and a small scaled Reynolds nu…
Dynamics and stochastic resonance in a mathematical model of bistable phosphorylation and nuclear size control
Xuesong Bai, Jonathan Touboul, Thomas G. Fai
Robust oscillations play crucial roles in a wide variety of biological processes and are often generated by deterministic mechanisms. However, stochastic fluctuations often generat…
Comparison of Extended Lubrication Theories for Stokes Flow
Sarah Dennis, Thomas G. Fai
Lubrication theory makes use of the assumptions of a long and thin fluid domain and a small scaled Reynolds number to formulate a linearized approximation to the Navier-Stokes equa…
Comparison of Lubrication Theory and Stokes Flow in Corner Geometries with Flow Separation
Sarah Dennis, Thomas G. Fai
The Reynolds equation from lubrication theory and the Stokes equations for zero Reynolds number flows are distinct models for an incompressible fluid with negligible inertia. Here…
Vesicle Translocation into Closed Constrictions as a Function of Molecular Motor Parameters
Youngmin Park, Thomas G. Fai
We study the dynamics of molecular motor-driven transport into dendritic spines, which are bulbous intracellular compartments in neurons that play a key role in transmitting signal…
