Instability of a dusty Kolmogorov flow
Alessandro Sozza, Massimo Cencini, Stefano Musacchio +1
Suspended particles can significantly alter the fluid properties and, in particular, can modify the transition from laminar to turbulent flow. We investigate the effect of heavy pa…
Optimal collision avoidance in swarms of active Brownian particles
Francesco Borra, Massimo Cencini, Antonio Celani
The effectiveness of collective navigation of biological or artificial agents requires to accommodate for contrasting requirements, such as staying in a group while avoiding close…
Reinforcement learning for pursuit and evasion of microswimmers at low Reynolds number
Francesco Borra, Luca Biferale, Massimo Cencini +1
We consider a model of two competing microswimming agents engaged in a pursue-evasion task within a low-Reynolds-number environment. Agents can only perform simple maneuvers and se…
Gyrotactic swimmers in turbulence: shape effects and role of the large-scale flow
Matteo Borgnino, Guido Boffetta, Filippo De Lillo +1
We study the dynamics and the statistics of dilute suspensions of gyrotactic swimmers, a model for many aquatic motile microorganisms. By means of extensive numerical simulations o…
