Journal ArticleDOI
Laminar flow around corners triggers the formation of biofilm streamers
TL;DR: The formation of biofilm streamers suspended in the middle plane of curved microchannels under conditions of laminar flow is reported and a link between the accumulation of extracellular matrix and the development of these structures is identified.
Journal ArticleDOI
Numerical experiments on flapping foils mimicking fish-like locomotion
Paolo Blondeaux,Francesco Fornarelli,Laura Guglielmini,Michael S. Triantafyllou,Roberto Verzicco +4 more
TL;DR: The results of numerical experiments aimed at investigating the topology of the vortex structures shed by an oscillating foil of finite span are described in this paper, where the motion of the foil and its geometry are chosen to mimic the tail of a fish using the carangiform swimming.
Journal ArticleDOI
Secondary flow as a mechanism for the formation of biofilm streamers.
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the formation of streamers is directly proportional to the intensity of the secondary flow around the corners, and a model of an elastic filament in a two-dimensional corner flow is able to explain how the streamers can cross fluid streamlines and connect corners located at the opposite sides of the channel.
Journal ArticleDOI
Propulsive efficiency of oscillating foils
TL;DR: In this paper, the dynamics of the vortex structures generated by a foil in steady forward motion, plus a combination of harmonic heaving and pitching oscillations, is determined by means of the numerical solution of the vorticity equation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sheathless hydrodynamic positioning of buoyant drops and bubbles inside microchannels.
Claudiu A. Stan,Laura Guglielmini,Laura Guglielmini,Audrey K. Ellerbee,Daniel Caviezel,Howard A. Stone,George M. Whitesides +6 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that, inside microfluidic channels, it is possible to support and position buoyant drops and bubbles simply by flowing a single-stream carrier liquid that has appropriate velocity and hydrodynamic properties.
