Abstract: Abstract In many natural settings, spatial variations in a fluid's viscosity arise due to changes in its local physico-chemical environment. We consider the low-Reynolds-number dynamics of slender bodies in fluids with a linearly varying viscosity.… read more here.

Abstract: Many cells exploit the bending or rotation of flagellar filaments in order to self-propel in viscous fluids. While appropriate theoretical modeling is available to capture flagella locomotion in simple, Newtonian fluids, formidable computations are required… read more here.
