Emergence of beating in a magnetic flagellum consisting of active bots
Francisca Guzmán-Lastra, Daniel Hernández, Nicolás Quintriqueo +2
We investigate the emergence of flagellar beating in chains of magnetic self--propelled particles (MSPPs) built from centimeter--scale vibrating robots (Hexbugs) with embedded neod…
Confined floating active carpets generate coherent vortical flows that enhance transport
Felipe A. Barros, Italo Salas, Enkeleida Lushi +1
Slicks are thin viscous films that can be found at the air--water interface of water bodies such as lakes, rivers and oceans. These micro-layers are enriched in surfactants, organi…
Micro-swimmer collective dynamics in Brinkman flows
Yasser Almoteri, Enkeleida Lushi
Suspensions of swimming micro-organisms are known to undergo intricate collective dynamics as a result of hydrodynamic and collision interactions. Micro-swimmers, such as bacteria…
Micro-swimmer locomotion and hydrodynamics in Brinkman Flows
Francisca Guzman-Lastra, Enkeleida Lushi
Micro-swimmer locomotion in heterogeneous media is increasingly relevant in biological physics due to the prevalence of microorganisms in complex environments. A model for such por…
Chemotactic aggregation dynamics of micro-swimmers in Brinkman flows
Yasser Almoteri, Enkeleida Lushi
We study through analysis and simulations of a continuum model the collective chemotactic dynamics of micro-swimmers immersed in viscous Brinkman flows. The Brinkman viscous flow a…
