Biomimetic Swarm of Active Particles with Coupled Passive-Active Interactions
Amir Nourhani
We study the universal behavior of a class of active colloids whose design is inspired by the collective dynamics of natural systems like schools of fish and flocks of birds. These…

Swimmer-Types of Optimum Surface-Driven Active Particles
Rafe Md Abu Zayed, Arezoo M. Ardekani, Amir Nourhani
An optimal microswimmer with a given geometry has a surface velocity profile that minimizes energy dissipation for a given swimming speed. An axisymmetric swimmer can be puller-, p…
