Magnus force on microscopic spinning objects moving through non-Markovian baths — Xin Cao¹, •Debankur Das², Niklas Windbacher¹, Felix Ginot¹, Matthias Kruger², and Clemens Bechinger¹ — ¹Fachbereich Physik, University Konstanz, 78464 Konstanz, Germany — ²Institut für Theoretische Physik, Universität Göttingen, 37077 Göttingen Germany

When a spinning object moves through a fluid or air, its direction of motion becomes deflected due to the Magnus force that is perpendicular both to the moving direction and the spinning axis. Since the Magnus effect is caused by inertial effects within the surrounding medium, it should vanish at micro scales where viscous forces dominate over inertia. Recent experiments have observed the phenomenon similar to Magnus effect when a spinning colloids and there aggregates are externally driven through a viscoelastic fluid. Even though the deflection force shows a similar dependence on the spinning and translating velocity of the particles as in case of Magnus forces, its sign is reversed. Here, we have developed a theory of such motions which doesnot rely on the inertial effects but caused explicitly by the memory effect of the viscoelastic fluid. To better elucidate our theory we corroborate our results with experiments. Our theory successfully captures the density relaxation timescales of the viscoelastic fluid. Further we proposed viable theoretical predictions which can be verified with further experiments.
