The ciliary locomotion and feeding of an axisymmetric microswimmer in a complex fluid whose viscosity depends on a surrounding nutrient field are investigated numerically in order to extend previous asymptotic results for weak nutrient...
The effect of nonuniform viscosity on the swimming velocity of a free swimmer at zero Reynolds number is examined. Using the generalized reciprocal relation for Stokes flow with nonuniform viscosity, we formulate the locomotion problem...
A Novel Model for Precipitation Reactions in Microfluidic Devices or, a Unified Framework for Coupling Phase-Change Chemistry and Fluid-Structure Interaction in Low Reynolds Number Flows
Chemical processes within flows are ubiquitous. There exists an important class of reactions that result in a phase change from liquid to solid: precipitation reactions. Inspired by recent microfluidic experiments, this dissertation...
