Active turbulence in microswimmer suspensions -- the role of active hydrodynamic stress and volume exclusion
Kai Qi, Elmar Westphal, Gerhard Gompper +1
Microswimmers exhibit an intriguing, highly-dynamic collective motion with large-scale swirling and streaming patterns, denoted as active turbulence -- reminiscent of classical hig…
Enhanced rotational motion of spherical squirmer in polymer solutions
Kai Qi, Elmar Westphal, Gerhard Gompper +1
The rotational diffusive motion of a self-propelled, attractive spherical colloid immersed in a solution of self-avoiding polymers is studied by mesoscale hydrodynamic simulations.…
Clustering of microswimmers: Interplay of shape and hydrodynamics
Mario Theers, Elmar Westphal, Kai Qi +2
The spatiotemporal dynamics in systems of active self-propelled particles is controlled by the propulsion mechanism in combination with various direct interactions, such as steric…
