The long-time motion of vortex sheets with surface tension
We study numerically the simplest model of two incompressible, immiscible fluids shearing past one another. The fluids are two-dimensional, inviscid, irrotational, density matched, and separated by a sharp interface under a surface tension. The nonlinear growth and evolution of this interface is governed by only the competing effects of the Kelvin–Helmholtz instability and the dispersion due to...
متن کاملLipopolysaccharide surface structure does not influence IcsA polarity.
Shigella species are the causative agents of human bacillary dysentery. These bacteria spread within the lining of the gut via a process termed actin-based motility whereby an actin 'tail' is formed at the bacterial pole. The bacterial outer membrane protein IcsA initiates this process, and crucially is precisely positioned on the bacterial polar surface. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) O-antigen surf...
متن کاملMotion-surface labeling by orientation, spatial frequency and luminance polarity in 3-D structure-from-motion
A compelling percept of three-dimensionality is attainable from a purely motion-defined simulation of a transparent rotating cylinder, referred to as 3-D structure-from-motion (SFM). Interestingly, subjects rarely perceive reversals of the cylinder's direction of rotation when they are introduced. Treue, Andersen, Ando, and Hildreth (Vision Res. 35 (1995) 139-148) have argued that this reflects...
متن کاملCell Polarity: Tension Quenches the Rear
A combination of biophysical perturbations and computer simulations shows that leading edge protrusion in crawling cells increases membrane tension, which constrains the protruding front to one side of the cell, thereby maintaining its polarity.
متن کاملHydrodynamic damped pitch motion of tension leg platforms
Because of fluctuation in leg tension, pitch motion is very effective fatigue and life safety of leg elements in tension leg structures (TLSs). In this paper an exact solution for pitch vibration of a TLS interacting with ocean wave is presented. The legs of TLP are considered as elastic springs. The flow is assumed to be irrotational and single-valued velocity potentials are defined. The effec...
