Mobility tensor of a sphere moving on a super-hydrophobic wall: application to particle separation
Daniela Pimponi, Mauro Chinappi, Paolo Gualtieri +1
The paper addresses the hydrodynamic behavior of a sphere close to a micro-patterned superhydrophobic surface described in terms of alternated no-slip and perfect-slip stripes. Phy…

Hydrodynamics of flagellated microswimmers near free-slip interfaces
Daniela Pimponi, Mauro Chinappi, Paolo Gualtieri +1
The hydrodynamics of a flagellated microorganism is investigated when swimming close to a planar free-slip surface by means of numerical solu- tions of the Stokes equations obtaine…
