Interfacial fluid instabilities and Kapitsa pendula
Madison Ski Krieger
The onset and development of instabilities is one of the central problems in fluid mechanics. Here we develop a connection between instabilities of free fluid interfaces and invert…
Microscale locomotion in a nematic liquid crystal
Madison S. Krieger, Saverio E. Spagnolie, Thomas R. Powers
Microorganisms often encounter anisotropy, for example in mucus and biofilms. We study how anisotropy and elasticity of the ambient fluid affects the speed of a swimming microorgan…
Minimal model for transient swimming in a liquid crystal
Madison S. Krieger, Marcelo A. Dias, Thomas R. Powers
When a microorganism begins swimming from rest in a Newtonian fluid such as water, it rapidly attains its steady-state swimming speed since changes in the velocity field spread qui…
