Fluid transport by a single active filament in a three-dimensional two-phase flow
Qian Mao, Umberto d'Ortona, Julien Favier
Micro-scale cilia play a vital role in mucociliary clearance (MCC) in the human respiratory airways. In this numerical study, we examine fluid transport driven by the active beatin…

Hydrodynamic coupling of a cilia--mucus system in Herschel--Bulkley flows
Q. Mao, Umberto d'Ortona, J. Favier
The yield stress and shear thinning properties of mucus are identified as critical for ciliary coordination and mucus transport in human airways. We use here numerical simulations…
