Non-Local Phononic Crystals for Dispersion Customization and Undulation-point Dynamics
Arash Kazemi, Kshiteej J. Deshmukh, Fei Chen +4
Dispersion relations govern wave behaviors, and tailoring them is a grand challenge in wave manipulation. We demonstrate inverse design of phononic dispersion using non-local inter…
A numerical method for inextensible elastic filaments in viscous fluids
Mehdi Jabbarzadeh, Henry C. Fu
The deformations of flagella are important in the motility of single- and multi-flagellated bacteria. Existing numerical methods have treated flagella as extensible filaments with…
Chiral topological excitons in the monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides
Z. R. Gong, W. Z. Luo, Z. F. Jiang +1
We theoretically investigate the chiral topological excitons emerging in the monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides, where a bulk energy gap of valley excitons is opened up by…
Low-Reynolds number swimming in gels
Henry C. Fu, Vivek B. Shenoy, Thomas R. Powers
Many microorganisms swim through gels, materials with nonzero zero-frequency elastic shear modulus, such as mucus. Biological gels are typically heterogeneous, containing both a st…
Swimming speeds of filaments in nonlinearly viscoelastic fluids
Henry C. Fu, Charles W. Wolgemuth, Thomas R. Powers
Many microorganisms swim through gels and non-Newtonian fluids in their natural environments. In this paper, we focus on microorganisms which use flagella for propulsion. We addres…
Separation of microscale chiral objects by shear flow
Marcos, Henry C. Fu, Thomas R. Powers +1
We show that plane parabolic flow in a microfluidic channel causes nonmotile helically-shaped bacteria to drift perpendicular to the shear plane. Net drift results from the prefere…
