The Hydrodynamics of a Micro-Rocket Propelled by a Deformable Bubble

François Gallaire, Giacomo Gallino, Lailai Zhu

We perform simulations to study the hydrodynamics of a conical-shaped swimming micro-robot that ejects catalytically produced bubbles from its inside. We underline the nontrivial dependency of the swimming velocity on the bubble deformability and on the ge ...

Film thickness distribution in gravity-driven pancake-shaped droplets rising in a Hele-Shaw cell

Gioele Mariano Nicolò Balestra, François Gallaire, Isha Shukla, Lailai Zhu, Nicolas Igor Jacques Kofman

We study here experimentally, numerically and using a lubrication approach, the shape, velocity and lubrication film thickness distribution of a droplet rising in a vertical Hele-Shaw cell. The droplet is surrounded by a stationary immiscible fluid and mov ...

Inertial manipulation of bubbles in rectangular microfluidic channels

Demetri Psaltis, Gioele Mariano Nicolò Balestra, François Gallaire, Seyyed Mohammad Hosseini Hashemi, Miguel Antonio Modestino, Lailai Zhu, Pooria Hadikhani

Inertial microfluidics is an active field of research that deals with crossflow positioning of the suspended entities in microflows. Until now, the majority of the studies have focused on the behavior of rigid particles in order to provide guidelines for m ...
