Pairwise scattering and bound states of spherical microorganisms
C. Darveniza, T. Ishikawa, T. J. Pedley +1
The dynamic interactions between pairs of swimming microorganisms underpin the collective behaviour of larger suspensions, but accurately calculating pairwise collisions has typica…
Squirmers with swirl -- a model for swimming
T. J. Pedley, D. R. Brumley, R. E. Goldstein
Colonies of the green alga are spheres that swim through the beating of pairs of flagella on their surface somatic cells. The somatic cells themselves are mounted rigidly…
Metachronal waves in the flagellar beating of and their hydrodynamic origin
Douglas R. Brumley, Marco Polin, Timothy J. Pedley +1
Groups of eukaryotic cilia and flagella are capable of coordinating their beating over large scales, routinely exhibiting collective dynamics in the form of metachronal waves. The…
Dancing Volvox: Hydrodynamic Bound States of Swimming Algae
Knut Drescher, Kyriacos C. Leptos, Idan Tuval +3
The spherical alga Volvox swims by means of flagella on thousands of surface somatic cells. This geometry and its large size make it a model organism for studying the fluid dynamic…
