Helical propulsion in shear-thinning fluids
(Cambridge University PressJournal of Fluid Mechanics, 2017-02-01)Swimming micro-organisms often have to propel themselves in complex non-Newtonian fluids. We carry out experiments with self-propelling helical swimmers driven by an externally rotating magnetic field in shear-thinning ...

Obstructed and channelized viscoplastic flow in a Hele-Shaw cell
(Cambridge University PressJournal of Fluid Mechanics, 2016-02-02)A theoretical study is presented of the flow of viscoplastic fluid through a Hele-Shaw cell that contains various kinds of obstructions. Circular and elliptical blockages of the cell are considered together with stepwise ...
