We investigate the structural and dynamic properties of active Brownian particles (APs) confined within a soft annulus-shaped channel. Depending on the strength of the …
Contrary to the proven beneficial role that placing an obstacle above a silo exit has in clogging prevention, we demonstrate that, when the system is gently shaken, this passive …

Forcing dense suspensions of non-cohesive particles through constrictions might result in a continuous flow, an intermittent one, or indefinite interruption of flow, ie a clog. While one of …

We study the influence of the cargo shape on the capture and transport process of colloidal rods via swarms of active particles using Brownian dynamics simulations. Starting at random …

When objects are forced to flow through constrictions their transport can be frustrated temporarily or permanently due to the formation of arches in the region of the bottleneck …

In suspension flows through microchannels with parallel walls, rigid particles form clogs that grow continuously in the upstream direction. However, introducing a slight taper to channel …
Clogging can randomly drive a confined flow system to sudden arrest. It is of paramount concern in many flow systems involving the transport of particulate suspensions. It …
There is a point in the life of every swimmer when they wonder about the forces that water exerts on them or, the other way around, about the force they have to exert on the water in …
