Elastohydrodynamic coupling enhances flow generation by coordinated ciliary beating
Shota Nakano, Shinji Deguchi, Daiki Matsunaga
Ciliary arrays pump fluid at low Reynolds number through non-reciprocal beating and phase coordination between neighbouring cilia. Previous studies have demonstrated that antiplect…

Cell-induced wrinkling patterns on soft substrates
Aleksandra Ardaševa, Varun Venkatesh, Daiki Matsunaga +2
Cells exert traction forces on compliant substrates and can induce surface instabilities that appear as characteristic wrinkling patterns. Here, we develop a mechanical description…

Optimal Undulatory Swimming with Constrained Deformation and Actuation Intervals
Fumiya Tokoro, Hideki Takayama, Shinji Deguchi +2
In nature, many unicellular organisms are able to swim with the help of beating filaments, where local energy input leads to cooperative undulatory beating motion. Here, we investi…
