Zero-Mean Oscillations Drive Recirculations in Potential Flows at Vanishing Reynolds Number
Alexandre S. Avaro, Leon V. Gebhard, Gabriel Amselem +1
Recirculating flows are central to transport phenomena, but their generation in potential flows requires additional physical mechanisms. We show experimentally that recirculation a…
Designing single-layer PDMS devices for micron to millimeter-scale deformations
Leon V. Gebhard, Alexandre S. Avaro, Gabriel Amselem +1
The elasticity of PDMS has played a central role in advancing important microfluidic technologies, ranging from early valves to sophisticated organ-on-a-chip systems. However, most…
Controlling the collective transport of large passive particles with suspensions of microorganisms
Taha Laroussi, Julien Bouvard, Etienne Jambon-Puillet +2
A promising approach to transport cargo at the microscale lies within the use of self-propelled microorganisms, whose motion entrains that of passive particles. However, most appli…
Motion and hydrodynamic resistance of an elastic bead confined in a square microchannel
Charles Paul Moore, Hiba Belkadi, Brouna Safi +2
Cells and other soft particles are often forced to flow in confined geometries in both laboratory and natural environments, where the elastic deformation induces an additional drag…
Self-organized homogenization of flow networks
Julien Bouvard, Swarnavo Basu, Charlott Leu +4
From the vasculature of animals to the porous media making up batteries, the core task of flow networks is to transport solutes and perfuse all cells or media equally with resource…
Short-term memory effects in the phototactic behavior of microalgae
Taha Laroussi, Mojtaba Jarrahi, Gabriel Amselem
Phototaxis, the directed motion in response to a light stimulus, is crucial for motile microorganisms that rely on photosynthesis, such as the unicellular microalga Chlamydomonas r…
