Passive swimming in low-Reynolds-number flows.
The possibility of microscopic swimming by extraction of energy from an external flow is discussed, focusing on the migration of a simple trimer across a linear shear flow. The geometric properties of swimming, together with the possible generalization to the case of a vesicle, are analyzed. The mechanism of energy extraction from the flow appears to be the generalization to a discrete swimmer ...
متن کاملDriven Cavity Flows in Soap Bubbles: An Illustration of the Spherical Dirichlet Problem
There are few physical objects as beautiful and fascinating as soap bubbles. They exhibit a perfection of geometrical form and an appealing simplicity. Soap bubbles are characterized by the structure of their thin liquid shell of low surface tension. It is well known that the dynamics of the surface of soap bubbles are the resultant of both 1) liquid film thinning under the influence of gravity...
متن کاملViscoelastic Lid-driven Cavity Flows
Viscoelastic flow in a square cavity is studied in detail for the FENE-CR model with a given value of extensibility. A finite volume method was employed to predict both the steady flows resulting from movement of the top cavity wall and also the recoil flows that follow the cessation of that lid-wall motion, when the fluid possesses viscoelastic properties. It is shown that this recoil flow can...
متن کاملAsymptotic Exponents from Low-Reynolds-Number Flows
The high-order statistics of fluctuations in velocity gradients in the crossover range from the inertial to the Kolmogorov and sub-Kolmogorov scales are studied by direct numerical simulations (DNS) of homogeneous isotropic turbulence with vastly improved resolution. The derivative moments for orders 0 ≤ n ≤ 8 are represented well as powers of the Reynolds number, Re, in the range 380 ≤ Re ≤ 22...
متن کاملComplex magnetohydrodynamic low-Reynolds-number flows.
The interaction between electric currents and a magnetic field is used to produce body (Lorentz) forces in electrolyte solutions. By appropriate patterning of the electrodes, one can conveniently control the direction and magnitude of the electric currents and induce spatially and temporally complicated flow patterns. This capability is useful, not only for fundamental flow studies, but also fo...
