Viscous growth and rebound of a bubble near a rigid surface
Sebastien Michelin, Giacomo Gallino, Francois Gallaire +1
Motivated by the dynamics of microbubbles near catalytic surfaces in bubble-powered microrockets, we consider theoretically the growth of a free spherical bubble near a flat no-sli…
Second-order sensitivity in the cylinder wake: optimal spanwise-periodic wall actuation and wall deformation
E. Boujo, A. Fani, F. Gallaire
Two-dimensional (2D) flows are efficiently controlled with spanwise waviness, i.e. spanwise-periodic (SP) wall blowing/suction/deformation. We tackle the global linear stability of…
Physics of Bubble-Propelled Microrockets
Giacomo Gallino, Francois Gallaire, Eric Lauga +1
A popular method to induce synthetic propulsion at the microscale is to use the forces created by surface-produced gas bubbles inside the asymmetric body of a catalytic swimmer (re…
