We present an asymptotic theory for solving the dynamics of slender autophoretic loops and knots. Our formulation is valid for nonintersecting three-dimensional center lines, with arbitrary chemical patterning and varying (circular) cross-sectional r...

Viscous tubular-body theory for plane interfaces (2024)
Journal Article
Koens, L., & Walker, B. J. (2024). Viscous tubular-body theory for plane interfaces. Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 979, Article A38. https://doi.org/10.1017/jfm.2023.1085

Filaments are ubiquitous within the microscopic world, occurring in biological and industrial environments and displaying a varied dynamics. Their wide range of applications has spurred the development of a branch of asymptotics focused on the behavi... Read More about Viscous tubular-body theory for plane interfaces.
