Contamination dynamics of active rods in long microchannels
Jason Palos, Chase Brown, Mykhailo Potomkin +1
Active rods are elongated, self-propelled particles that serve as effective models for motile microorganisms, such as bacteria and sperm cells. When confined to a microfluidic chan…
Active matter within flexible boundaries: a novel experimental approach with T. aceti nematodes
Christina M. Ceballos, Matthew S. Mizuhara, Mykhailo Potomkin +1
We experimentally explore the collective behavior of the nematode T. Aceti inside flexible boundaries showing the emergence of previously unreported states. These nematodes have be…
Boundary accumulations of active rods in microchannels with elliptical cross-section
Chase Brown, Mykhailo Potomkin, Shawn Ryan
Many motile microorganisms and bio-mimetic micro-particles have been successfully modeled as active rods - elongated bodies capable of self-propulsion. A hallmark of active rod dyn…
A kinetic approach to active rod dynamics in confined domains
Leonid Berlyand, Pierre-Emmanuel Jabin, Mykhailo Potomkin +1
The study of active matter consisting of many self-propelled (active) swimmers in an imposed flow is important for many applications. Self-propelled swimmers may represent both liv…
Focusing of Active Particles in a Converging Flow
Mykhailo Potomkin, Andreas Kaiser, Leonid Berlyand +1
We consider active particles swimming in a convergent fluid flow in a trapezoid nozzle with no-slip walls. We use mathematical modeling to analyze trajectories of these particles i…
