Elastohydrodynamic synchronization of adjacent beating flagella
Goldstein, Raymond Ethan; Lauga, Eric Jean-Marie; Pesci, Adriana Irma; Proctor, Michael Richard (American Physical SocietyPhysical Review Fluids, 2016-11-01)It is now well established that nearby beating pairs of eukaryotic flagella or cilia typically synchronize in phase. A substantial body of evidence supports the hypothesis that hydrodynamic coupling between the active ...

Instabilities and Solitons in Minimal Strips
Machon, Thomas; Alexander, Gareth P; Goldstein, Raymond Ethan; Pesci, Adriana Irma (American Physical SocietyPhysical Review Letters, 2016-07-01)We show that highly twisted minimal strips can undergo a nonsingular transition, unlike the singular transitions seen in the Möbius strip and the catenoid. If the strip is nonorientable, this transition is topologically ...
