    • A two-sphere model for bacteria swimming near solid surfaces 
      Dunstan, Jocelyn; Miño, Gastón; Clement, Eric; Soto Bertrán, Rodrigo (AMER INST PHYSICS, 2012-01)
      We present a simple model for bacteria like Escherichia coil swimming near solid surfaces. It consists of two spheres of different radii connected by a dragless rod. The effect of the flagella is taken into account by ...
    • E. coli "super-contaminates" narrow ducts fostered by broad run-time distribution 
      Figueroa Morales, Nuris; Rivera, Aramis; Soto Bertrán, Rodrigo; Lindner, Anke; Altshuler, Ernesto; Clement, Eric (Amer Assoc Advancement Science, 2020)
      One notable feature of bacterial motion is their ability to swim upstream along corners and crevices, by leveraging hydrodynamic interactions. This motion through anatomic ducts or medical devices might be at the origin ...
    • Relaxation processes after instantaneous shear rate reversal in a dense granular flow 
      Rojas, Eduardo; Soto Bertrán, Rodrigo; Clement, Eric; Trulsson, Martin; Andreotti, Bruno (EDP Sciences, 2017)
      A numerical model of granular material at different packing fractions and under steady shear is submitted to a sudden shear reversal. We monitor consequences of the strong density and shear rate spatiotemporal heterogeneities, ...
