Microscale flow dynamics of ribbons and sheets (2017)
Journal Article
Montenegro-Johnson, T. D., Koens, L., & Lauga, E. (2017). Microscale flow dynamics of ribbons and sheets. Soft matter, 13(3), 546-553. https://doi.org/10.1039/c6sm02105k

Numerical study of the hydrodynamics of thin sheets and ribbons presents difficulties associated with resolving multiple length scales. To circumvent these difficulties, asymptotic methods have been developed to describe the dynamics of slender fibre... Read More about Microscale flow dynamics of ribbons and sheets.

Analytical solutions to slender-ribbon theory (2017)
Journal Article
Koens, L., & Lauga, E. (2017). Analytical solutions to slender-ribbon theory. Physical Review Fluids, 2(8), Article 084101. https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevFluids.2.084101

The low-Reynolds-number hydrodynamics of slender ribbons is accurately captured by slender-ribbon theory, an asymptotic solution to the Stokes equation which assumes that the three length scales characterizing the ribbons are well separated. We show... Read More about Analytical solutions to slender-ribbon theory.

The non-Gaussian tops and tails of diffusing boomerangs (2017)
Journal Article
Koens, L., Lisicki, M., & Lauga, E. (2017). The non-Gaussian tops and tails of diffusing boomerangs. Soft matter, 13(16), 2977-2982. https://doi.org/10.1039/c6sm02649d

Experiments involving the two-dimensional passive diffusion of colloidal boomerangs tracked off their centre of mobility have shown striking non-Gaussian tails in their probability distribution function [Chakrabarty et al., Soft Matter, 2016, 12, 431...
