Active gyrotactic stability of microswimmers using hydromechanical signals
Jingran Qiu, Navid Mousavi, Lihao Zhao +1
Many plankton species undergo daily vertical migration to large depths in the turbulent ocean. To do this efficiently, the plankton can use a gyrotactic mechanism, aligning them wi…

Navigation of micro-swimmers in steady flow: the importance of symmetries
J. Qiu, N. Mousavi, K. Gustavsson +3
Marine microorganisms must cope with complex flow patterns and even turbulence as they navigate the ocean. To survive they must avoid predation and find efficient energy sources. A…

Turbulence modulations and drag reduction by inertialess spheroids in turbulent channel flow
Ze Wang, Chun-Xiao Xu, Lihao Zhao
Previous studies on nonspherical particle-fluid interaction were mostly confined to elongated fiber-like particles, which were observed to induce turbulence drag reduction. However…
