Self-organised structures in mixed active-passive suspensions due to hydrodynamic interactions

Alexander Chamolly, Takuji Ishikawa

Microswimmers in suspension exhibit collective swimming behaviour, forming various self-organised structures including ordered, aggregated, and turbulent-like structures. When mixe…

Colloidal bubble propulsion mediated through viscous flows

Alexander Chamolly, Sébastien Michelin, Eric Lauga

Bubble-propelled catalytic colloids stand out as a uniquely efficient design for artificial controllable micromachines, but so far lack a general theoretical framework that explain…

Controlling confined collective organisation with taxis

Albane Théry, Alexander Chamolly, Eric Lauga

Biased locomotion is a common feature of microorganisms, but little is known about its impact on self-organisation. Inspired by recent experiments showing a transition to large-sca…

Fluid mechanics of free subduction on a sphere, 1: The axisymmetric case

Alexander Chamolly, Neil M. Ribe

To understand how spherical geometry influences the dynamics of gravity-driven subduction of oceanic lithosphere on Earth, we study a simple model of a thin and dense axisymmetric…

Direct vs indirect hydrodynamic interactions during bundle formation of bacterial flagella

Alexander Chamolly, Eric Lauga

Most motile bacteria swim in viscous fluids by rotating multiple helical flagellar filaments. These semi-rigid filaments repeatedly join ('bundle') and separate ('unbundle'), resul…

Stokes flow due to point torques and sources in a spherical geometry

Alexander Chamolly, Eric Lauga

Solutions to the Stokes equations written in terms of a small number of hydrodynamic image singularities have been a useful tool in theoretical and numerical computations for nearl…
