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…
Irreversible hydrodynamic trapping by surface rollers
Alexander Chamolly, Eric Lauga, Soichiro Tottori
A colloidal particle driven by externally actuated rotation can self-propel parallel to a rigid boundary by exploiting the hydrodynamic coupling that surfaces induce between transl…
Active particles in periodic lattices
Alexander Chamolly, Takuji Ishikawa, Eric Lauga
Both natural and artificial small-scale swimmers may often self-propel in environments subject to complex geometrical constraints. While most past theoretical work on low-Reynolds…
