Magnetorheological fluids consist of micrometer-sized magnetic particles in a carrier liquid. Sufficiently strong external magnetic fields lead to the formation of string-like particle aggregates. We demonstrate that hydrodynamic…
This work investigates experimentally and numerically the dynamics of rigid particles settling under gravity in a highly viscous fluid. We demonstrate that certain shapes: cones, crescent moons, arrowheads, and open flat rings reorient and…
We consider a two-dimensional, pure capillary drop of nearly-circular shape, having constant vorticity. We write the Craig-Sulem equations on the unit circle, then on the flat torus. We show their Hamiltonian structure and we then observe…

Manipulating the way in which colloidal particles self-organise is a central challenge in the design of functional soft materials. Meeting this challenge requires the use of building blocks that interact with one another in a highly…

Small steady-state deformational oscillations of a drop of a viscous magnetic liquid in a non-stationary uniform magnetic field are theoretically investigated for low Reynolds numbers. The drop is suspended in another viscous magnetic…
We study a crystal composed of active units governed by self-alignment and chirality. The first mechanism acts as an effective torque that aligns the particle orientation with its velocity, while the second drives individual particles along…
While magnetic fluids are well known for their rich ferrohydrodynamic behaviors, prior researches on dynamic droplet morphologies have largely been confined to the nonconducting matters. From an alternative, the electrically conductive…
We analyze the fate of spiral order in a one-dimensional system of localized magnetic moments coupled to itinerant electrons under a voltage bias. Within an adiabatic approximation for the dynamics of the localized spins, and in the…

Starting from Gauss and Kelvin, knots in fields were postulated behaving like particles, but experimentally they were found only as transient features or required complex boundary conditions to exist and couldn't self-assemble into…
We study the emergent orientational dynamics of a dumbbell dimer -- two asymmetric monomers connected by a linking spring -- in a three-dimensional chiral environment with odd viscosity. In classical systems with conserved parity symmetry,…
