Abstract:The manipulation of a collection of fluid particles in a low Reynolds number environment has several important applications. As we demonstrate in this paper, this manipulation problem is related to the scientific question of how fluid flow structures direct Lagrangian transport. We investigate this problem of directing the transport by manipulating the flow, specifically in the Stokes flow context, by controlling the strengths of two rotors fixed in space. We demonstrate a novel dynamical systems approach for … Show more
