Designing metachronal waves of cilia
Fanlong Meng, Rachel R. Bennett, Nariya Uchida +1
On surfaces with many motile cilia, beats of the individual cilia coordinate to form metachronal waves. We present a theoretical framework that connects the dynamics of an individu…
A steering mechanism for phototaxis in Chlamydomonas
Rachel R. Bennett, Ramin Golestanian
Chlamydomonas shows both positive and negative phototaxis. It has a single eyespot near its equator and as the cell rotates during forward motion the light signal received by the e…
Phase Dependent Forcing and Synchronization in the three-sphere model of Chlamydomonas
Rachel R. Bennett, Ramin Golestanian
The green alga {\it Chlamydomonas} swims with synchronized beating of its two flagella, and is experimentally observed to exhibit run-and-tumble behaviour similar to bacteria. Rece…
Emergent Run-and-Tumble Behavior in a Simple Model of Chlamydomonas with Intrinsic Noise
Rachel R. Bennett, Ramin Golestanian
Recent experiments on the green alga Chlamydomonas that swims using synchronized beating of a pair of flagella have revealed that it exhibits a run-and-tumble behavior similar to t…
