流体动力同步的极小模型

Minimal Model for Hydrodynamic Synchronization

Bian Qian, Hongyuan Jiang, David A. Gagnon, Kenneth S. Breuer, Thomas R. Powers

摘要:

出于观察到的附近跳动纤毛的协调,我们使用的比例模型实验表明,流体动力学的相互作用可以导致在一个非常粘稠的流体中以恒定扭矩驱动的旋转桨之间的同步。只有当支撑叶片的轴具有一定的柔性时才能观察到同步。同步状态下的相位差取决于桨的对称性。我们使用正则化stokeslets的方法来模拟桨,并发现与实验观察非常吻合。我们还使用了一个简单的分析理论的基础上远场近似推导出的同步时间作为桨分离的函数的标度律。

英文摘要:

Motivated by the observed coordination of nearby beating cilia, we use a scale model experiment to show that hydrodynamic interactions can cause synchronization between rotating paddles driven at constant torque in a very viscous fluid. Synchronization is only observed when the shafts supporting the paddles have some flexibility. The phase difference in the synchronized state depends on the symmetry of the paddles. We use the method of regularized stokeslets to model the paddles and find excellent agreement with the experimental observations. We also use a simple analytic theory based on far-field approximations to derive scaling laws for the synchronization time as a function of paddle separation.
