Characterization and Control of the Run-and-Tumble Dynamics of {\it Escherichia Coli}
Christina Kurzthaler, Yongfeng Zhao, Nan Zhou +8
We characterize the full spatiotemporal gait of populations of swimming {\it Escherichia coli} using renewal processes to analyze the measurements of intermediate scattering functi…
Quantitative characterization of run-and-tumble statistics in bulk bacterial suspensions
Yongfeng Zhao, Christina Kurzthaler, Nan Zhou +8
We introduce a numerical method to extract the parameters of run-and-tumble dynamics from experimental measurements of the intermediate scattering function. We show that proceeding…
Transport of a passive scalar in wide channels with surface topography
James V. Roggeveen, Howard A. Stone, Christina Kurzthaler
We generalize classical dispersion theory for a passive scalar to derive an asymptotic long-time convection-diffusion equation for a solute suspended in a wide, structured channel…
Crowding-Enhanced Diffusion: An Exact Theory for Highly Entangled Self-Propelled Stiff Filaments
Suvendu Mandal, Christina Kurzthaler, Thomas Franosch +1
We study a strongly interacting crowded system of self-propelled stiff filaments by event-driven Brownian dynamics simulations and an analytical theory to elucidate the intricate i…
Microswimmers near corrugated, periodic surfaces
Christina Kurzthaler, Howard A. Stone
We explore hydrodynamic interactions between microswimmers and corrugated, or rough, surfaces, as found often in biological systems and microfluidic devices. Using the Lorentz reci…
