An innovative in silico model of the oral mucosa reveals the impact of extracellular spaces on chemical permeation through epithelium

Sean M. Edwards, Amy L. Harding, Joseph A. Leedale +4

In pharmaceutical therapeutic design or toxicology, accurately predicting the permeation of chemicals through human epithelial tissues is crucial, where permeation is significantly…

The interplay between bulk flow and boundary conditions on the distribution of micro-swimmers in channel flow

Smitha Maretvadakethope, Andrew L. Hazel, Bakhti Vasiev +1

While previous experimental and numerical studies of dilute micro-swimmer suspensions have focused on the behaviours of swimmers in the bulk flow and near boundaries, models typica…

A local approximation model for macroscale transport of biased active Brownian particles in a flowing suspension

Lloyd Fung, Rachel N. Bearon, Yongyun Hwang

A dilute suspension of motile microorganisms subjected to a strong ambient flow, such as algae in the ocean, can be modelled as a population of non-interacting, orientable active B…

Bifurcation and stability of downflowing gyrotactic micro-organism suspensions in a vertical pipe

Lloyd Fung, Rachel N. Bearon, Yongyun Hwang

In the experiment that first demonstrated gyrotactic behaviour of bottom-heavy swimming microalgae (e.g. Chlamydomonas), Kessler (Nature, vol. 313, 1985, pp. 218-220) showed that a…

Gyrotactic swimmer dispersion in pipe flow: testing the theory

O. A. Croze, R. N. Bearon, M. A. Bees

Suspensions of microswimmers are a rich source of fascinating new fluid mechanics. Recently we predicted the active pipe flow dispersion of gyrotactic microalgae, whose orientation…
