A theory of the collapse of a punctured antibubble is developed. The motion of the rim of air formed at the edge of the collapsing air film cannot be described by a potential flow and is characterized by high Reynolds numbers. The rim velocity is not constant but gradually decreases with time and is determined by the balance between the surface tension and hydrodynamic drag forces. A collapse equation is derived and solved. The agreement between the theory and existing experiments is shown.

The formation dynamics is studied for a singular profile of a surface of an ideal conducting fluid in an electric field. Self-similar solutions of electrohydrodynamic equations describing the fundamental process of formation of surface conic cusps wi th angles close to the Taylor cone angle 98.6 are obtained. The behavior of physical quantities (field strength, fluid velocity, surface curvature) near the singularity is established.

We show that simulations of polymer rheology at a fluctuating mesoscopic scale and at the macroscopic scale where flow instabilities occur can be achieved at the same time with dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) technique.} We model the visco-elasti city of polymer liquids by introducing a finite fraction of dumbbells in the standard DPD fluid. The stretching and tumbling statistics of these dumbbells is in agreement with what is known for isolated polymers in shear flows. At the same time, the model exhibits behaviour reminiscent of drag reduction in the turbulent state: as the polymer fraction increases, the onset of turbulence in plane Couette flow is pushed to higher Reynolds numbers. The method opens up the possibility to model nontrivial rheological conditions with ensuing coarse grained polymer statistics.
Hydrodynamic interactions (HIs) are important in biophysics research because they influence both the collective and the individual behaviour of microorganisms and self-propelled particles. For instance, HIs at the micro-swimmer level determine the at traction or repulsion between individuals, and hence their collective behaviour. Meanwhile, HIs between swimming appendages (e.g. cilia and flagella) influence the emergence of swimming gaits, synchronised bundles and metachronal waves. In this study, we address the issue of HIs between slender filaments separated by a distance larger than their contour length (d>L) by means of asymptotic calculations and numerical simulations. We first derive analytical expressions for the extended resistance matrix of two arbitrarily-shaped rigid filaments as a series expansion in inverse powers of d/L>1. The coefficients in our asymptotic series expansion are then evaluated using two well-established methods for slender filaments, resistive-force theory (RFT) and slender-body theory (SBT), and our asymptotic theory is verified using numerical simulations based on SBT for the case of two parallel helices. The theory captures the qualitative features of the interactions in the regime d/L>1, which opens the path to a deeper physical understanding of hydrodynamically governed phenomena such as inter-filament synchronisation and multiflagellar propulsion. To demonstrate the usefulness of our results, we next apply our theory to the case of two helices rotating side-by-side, where we quantify the dependence of all forces and torques on the distance and phase difference between them. Using our understanding of pairwise HIs, we then provide physical intuition for the case of a circular array of rotating helices. Our theoretical results will be useful for the study of HIs between bacterial flagella, nodal cilia, and slender microswimmers.

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 characterising the ribbons are well separated. We show in this paper that the force distribution across the width of an isolated ribbon located in a infinite fluid can be determined analytically, irrespective of the ribbons shape. This, in turn, reduces the surface integrals in the slender-ribbon theory equations to a line integral analogous to the one arising in slender-body theory to determine the dynamics of filaments. This result is then used to derive analytical solutions to the motion of a rigid plate ellipsoid and a ribbon torus and to propose a ribbon resistive-force theory, thereby extending the resistive-force theory for slender filaments.

The incompressible Stokes equations can classically be recast in a boundary integral (BI) representation, which provides a general method to solve low-Reynolds number problems analytically and computationally. Alternatively, one can solve the Stokes equations by using an appropriate distribution of flow singularities of the right strength within the boundary, a method particularly useful to describe the dynamics of long slender objects for which the numerical implementation of the BI representation becomes cumbersome. While the BI approach is a mathematical consequence of the Stokes equations, the singularity method involves making judicious guesses that can only be justified a posteriori. In this paper we use matched asymptotic expansions to derive an algebraically accurate slender-body theory directly from the BI representation able to handle arbitrary surface velocities and surface tractions. This expansion procedure leads to sets of uncoupled linear equations and to a single one-dimensional integral equation identical to that derived by Keller and Rubinow (1976) and Johnson (1979) using the singularity method. Hence we show that it is a mathematical consequence of the BI approach that the leading-order flow around a slender body can be represented using a distribution of singularities along its centreline. Furthermore when derived from either the single-layer or double-layer modified BI representation, general slender solutions are only possible in certain types of flow, in accordance with the limitations of these representations.
