Self-Similar Liquid Lens Coalescence
Michiel A. Hack, Walter Tewes, Qingguang Xie +4
A basic feature of liquid drops is that they can merge upon contact to form a larger drop. In spite of its importance to various applications, drop coalescence on pre-wetted substr…
Active particles in viscosity gradients
Charu Datt, Gwynn J. Elfring
Microswimmers in nature often experience spatial gradients of viscosity. In this work we develop theoretical results for the dynamics of active particles, biological or otherwise,…
A note on higher order perturbative corrections to squirming speed in weakly viscoelastic fluids
Charu Datt, Gwynn J. Elfring
Many microorganisms swim in fluids with complex rheological properties. Although much is now understood about motion of these swimmers in Newtonian fluids, the understanding is sti…
Two-sphere swimmers in viscoelastic fluids
Charu Datt, Babak Nasouri, Gwynn J. Elfring
We examine swimmers comprising of two rigid spheres which oscillate periodically along their axis of symmetry, considering both when the oscillation is in phase and anti-phase, and…
Autophoretic locomotion in weakly viscoelastic fluids at finite Péclet number
Giovanniantonio Natale, Charu Datt, Savvas G. Hatzikiriakos +1
In this work, we numerically investigate the dynamics of a self-propelling autophoretic Janus particle in a weakly viscoelastic fluid. The self-propulsion is achieved by an asymmet…
