A two-sphere model for bacteria swimming near solid surfaces
Jocelyn Dunstan, Gastón Miño, Eric Clement +1
We present a simple model for bacteria like \emph{Escherichia coli} swimming near solid surfaces. It consists of two spheres of different radii connected by a dragless rod. The eff…
Intruder mobility in a vibrated granular packing
Rim Harich, Thierry Darnige, Evelyne Kolb +1
We study experimentally the dynamics of a dense intruder sinking under gravity inside a vibrated 2D granular packing. The surrounding flow patterns are characterized and the fallin…
Creep and fluidity of a real granular packing near jamming
Van Bau Nguyen, Thierry Darnige, Ary Bruand +1
We study the internal dynamical processes taking place in a granular packing below yield stress. At all packing fractions and down to vanishingly low applied shear, a logarithmic c…
