• Séminaire PMMH - Franck Vernerey (Boulder Univ.)
  Vendredi 31 mars de 11h00 à 12h00 - Salle réunion PMMH 1
  Active Mechanics of Cohesive Biological Aggregates : -The Case of Fire-Ant Swarms-
  A majority of soft living materials owe their complex mechanical behavior to an underlying network structure. Despite this inherent complexity, the physical structure of these materials can often be conceptualized as dynamic physical networks, where nodes and connections are governed by simple rules. An advantage (...)
• Séminaire PMMH - Giuseppe Pucci, Istituto di Nanotecnologia, Calabria
  Vendredi 7 avril de 11h00 à 12h00 - Salle réunion PMMH 1
  Capillary surfers and spinners on a vibrating liquid bath
  Capillary surfers are wave-driven particles at a fluid interface that have been recently introduced by Ho et al. (arXiv:2102.11694v3, 2023) and described theoretically by Oza et al. (arXiv:2301.05767, 2023). A surfer is a hydrophobic, millimetric solid particle, the bottom surface of which is pinned to the (...)
• Séminaire PMMH - Christophe Gissinger, LPENS, PSL
  Vendredi 14 avril de 11h00 à 12h00 - Salle réunion PMMH 1
  Transition sous-critique à la turbulence et transport non-diffusif en astrophysique
  Omniprésente, la turbulence est responsable d'une grande partie des processus de mélange et de transport observés dans la nature et dans les écoulements industriels. La diffusion d'éléments chimiques, le transfert de chaleur ou le transport de moment cinétique au sein d'un écoulement nécessitent donc une bonne (...)
• Séminaire PMMH - Luis Gómez-Nava (Humboldt University of Berlin)
  Vendredi 21 avril de 11h00 à 12h00 - Salle réunion PMMH 1
  Collective and synchronized motion in animal groups : from sheep to fish
  In this talk I will present two studies of collective behavior observed in animal groups. In the first one, we studied the spontaneous and intermittent collective displacements observed in small groups of sheep (Ovis aries Linnaeus). We performed experiments and noticed that these animals form files while moving (...)

  Vendredi 9 juin de 11h00 à 12h00 - Salle réunion PMMH 1
  Hydrodynamic Origin of Terrestrial “Impact” Ripples
  Wind-blown sand surfaces on Earth, Mars, and other planetary bodies are covered by multiscale bedforms. The long-standing consensus has been that meter- to kilometer-scale dunes and decimeter-scale ripples on Earth emerge via two distinct physical mechanisms. Dunes evolve from a flat sand bed due to a hydrodynamic (...)
