A Light-Driven Microgel Rotor
Hang Zhang, Lyndon Koens, Eric Lauga +2
The current understanding of motility through body shape deformation of microorganisms and the knowledge of fluid flows at the microscale provides ample examples for mimicry and de…

Analytical solutions to slender-ribbon theory
Lyndon Koens, Eric Lauga
The low-Reynolds number hydrodynamics of slender ribbons is accurately captured by slender-ribbon theory, an asymptotic solution to the Stokes equation which assumes that the three…

Rotation of slender swimmers in isotropic-drag media
Lyndon Koens, Eric Lauga
The drag anisotropy of slender filaments is a critical physical property allowing swimming in low-Reynolds number flows, and without it linear translation is impossible. Here we sh…
