Control of microparticles through hydrodynamic interactions
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The controllability of passive microparticles that are advected with the fluid flow generated by an actively controlled one is studied. The particles are assumed to be suspended in a viscous fluid and well separated so that the far-field Stokes flow solutions may be used to describe their interactions. Explicit elementary moves parametrized by an amplitude $\varepsilon >0$ are devised for the active particle. Applying concepts from geometric control theory, the leading-order resulting displacements of the passive particles in the limit $\varepsilon \to 0$ are used to propose strategies for moving one active particle and one or two passive particles, proving controllability in such systems. The leading-order (in $\varepsilon$ ) theoretical predictions of the particle displacements are compared with those obtained numerically and it is found that the discrepancy is small even when $\varepsilon \approx 1$ . These results demonstrate the potential for a single actuated particle to perform complex micromanipulations of passive particles in a suspension.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
