• A unified model of ripples and dunes in water and planetary environments

  Orencio Duran Vinent, Bruno Andreotti, Philippe Claudin and Christian Winter, Nature Geoscience (2019) Subaqueous and aeolian bedforms are ubiquitous on Earth and other planetary environments. However, it is still unclear which hydrodynamic (...)

  Delaying Ice and Frost Formation Using Phase-Switching Liquids

  , Rukmava Chatterjee, Daniel Beysens, and Sushant Anand, Adv. Mater., 1807812 (2019) Abstract: Preventing water droplets from transitioning to ice is advantageous for numerous applications. It is demonstrated that the use of certain (...)

  
  

• Review article: On the diverse roles of fluid dynamic drag in animal swimming and flying

  R. Godoy-Diana & B. Thiria. J. Roy. Soc. Interface 15 20170715 (2018) [doi:10.1098/rsif.2017.0715] When a body moves through a fluid, drag is often thought as a dissipative source that has perpetually to be overcome to sustain motion (...)

  
  

• Giant ripples on comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko sculpted by sunset thermal wind

  Pan Jia, Bruno Andreotti, and Philippe Claudin, PNAS (2017) Abstract: Explaining the unexpected presence of dune-like patterns at the surface of the comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko requires conceptual and quantitative advances in the (...)

  
  

• Bioinspired turbine blades offer new perspectives for wind energy

  V. Cognet, S. Courrech du Pont, I. Dobrev, F. Massouh, B. Thiria; Proc. Roy. Soc. A, 473, (2017) Wind energy is becoming a significant alternative solution for future energy production. Modern turbines now benefit from engineering expertise, (...)

  
  

• Texture-driven elastohydrodynamic bouncing

  Thibault Chastel, Philippe Gondret and Anne Mongruel: Journal of Fluid Mechanics, Volume 805 October 2016, pp. 577-590 We investigate in detail the dynamics of bouncing of a fluid-immersed solid sphere onto a textured wall at moderate Reynolds (...)

  Does aquatic foraging impact head shape evolution in snakes?

  M. Segall, R. Cornette, A.-C. Fabre, R. Godoy-Diana, A. Herrel ; Proc. R. Soc. B, 283, 20161645, (2016) Evolutionary trajectories are often biased by developmental and historical factors. However, environmental factors can also impose (...)

  
  

• Faraday wave lattice as an elastic metamaterial

  L. Domino, M. Tarpin, S. Patinet, and A. Eddi ; Phys. Rev. E 93, 050202(R), (2016) Metamaterials enable the emergence of novel physical properties due to the existence of an underlying subwavelength structure. Here, we use the Faraday (...)

  
  

• Effect of friction on the peeling test at zero-degrees

  S. Ponce, J. Bico, B. Roman; Soft Matter, 11, 9281-9290, (2015) We describe the peeling of an elastomeric strip adhering to a glass plate through van der Waals interactions in the limit of a zero peeling angle. In contrast to classical studies (...)

  
  

• Water impacting on superhydrophobic macrotextures

  Anaïs Gauthier, Sean Symon, Christophe Clanet, David Quéré; Nature Comm., 6, 8001, (2015) It has been recently shown that the presence of macrotextures on superhydrophobic materials can markedly modify the dynamics of water impacting them, and (...)
