Optimal propulsive flapping in Stokes flows [PDF]

Bioinspiration & Biomimetics, 2013
Swimming fish and flying insects use the flapping of fins and wings to generate thrust. In contrast, microscopic organisms typically deform their appendages in a wavelike fashion. Since a flapping motion with two degrees of freedom is able, in theory, to produce net forces from a time-periodic actuation at all Reynolds number, we compute in this paper ...

Triblock Polymer Engineering Enables Hydration‐Rich, High‐Performance, Fouling‐Resistant Interfaces

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A molecularly engineered triblock polymer (PHZ) rapidly reorganizes into a hydration‐rich interfacial layer on diverse surfaces, strongly suppressing hydrophobic attraction and fouling. The triblock polymer provides robust energy and steric barriers to oily foulants, enabling high‐performance antifouling at ultralow dosage.

Comparison of differential representations for radially symmetric Stokes flow

Abstract and Applied Analysis, 2004
Papkovich and Neuber (PN), and Palaniappan, Nigam, Amaranath, and Usha (PNAU) proposed two different representations of the velocity and the pressure fields in Stokes flow, in terms of harmonic and biharmonic functions, which form a practical tool for ...

Controlling Intestinal Organoid Polarity using Synthetic Dynamic Hydrogels Decorated with Laminin‐Derived IKVAV Peptides

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Design rules are presented to control intestinal organoid polarity in fully synthetic hydrogels. The laminin‐derived IKVAV sequence is crucial to obtain correct intestinal organoid polarity. Increasing hydrogel dynamics further supports the growth of correctly polarized intestinal organoids, while a bulk level of stiffness (G’ ≈ 0.7 kPa) is crucial to ...

A full GPU implementation of a numerical method for simulating capsule suspensions

Journal of Biomechanical Science and Engineering, 2014
Although boundary element (BE) based methods are highly accurate for simulating capsule suspensions in Stokes flows, computational time has been a major issue, even when only a few capsules are simulated. We propose a full graphics processing unit (GPU)

Increased Anti‐Psoriatic Effect of Anti‐Inflammatory Dendrimers Using Fluid Catanionic Vesicle‐Based Topical Formulations

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Next‐Generation Psoriasis Therapy – With advanced dendrimer‐based formulations, this study paves the way for highly effective, skin‐permeable treatments. Encapsulated in fluid catanionic vesicles, IMD‐006 and its analogues show promising anti‐psoriatic effects offering a targeted, non‐invasive approach to managing chronic skin inflammation.

Elastohydrodynamic phase-lock in two rotating cilia

Journal of Biomechanical Science and Engineering, 2017
Determination of left-right asymmetry of the body plan is achieved in the early embryo. At the 4-6 somite stage, a cavity structure, called a node, is observed in the ventral midline surface, in which hundreds of cilia rotate.

A matrix-free high-order discontinuous Galerkin compressible Navier-Stokes solver: A performance comparison of compressible and incompressible formulations for turbulent incompressible flows

, 2018
Both compressible and incompressible Navier-Stokes solvers can be used and are used to solve incompressible turbulent flow problems. In the compressible case, the Mach number is then considered as a solver parameter that is set to a small value, $\mathrm{

Forced Rapidly Dissipative Navier–Stokes Flows

SIAM Journal on Mathematical Analysis
We show that, by acting on a finite number of parameters of a compactly supported control force, we can increase the energy dissipation rate of any small solution of the Navier--Stokes equations in $\mathbb{R}^n$ . The magnitude of the control force is bounded by a negative Sobolev norm of the initial velocity. Its support can be chosen to be contained

Colloidal Heterostructures Enable Interfacial Transport of Immiscible Molecules in Printable Organohydrogels

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Multiphase printable organohydrogels with tunable microstructures are developed to control molecular transport pathways for immiscible cargo. The tortuosity and domain size of the colloidal phases are tuned by adjusting temperature and shear during processing, which enables the tailoring of diffusion kinetics due to different transport pathways.
