Self-organized dynamics of a viscous drop with interfacial nematic activity
Mohammadhossein Firouznia, David Saintillan
We study emergent dynamics in a viscous drop subject to interfacial nematic activity. Using hydrodynamic simulations, we show how the interplay of nematodynamics, activity-driven f…
Phoretic swimming with bulk absorption
Rodolfo Brandão, David Saintillan, Ehud Yariv
We consider phoretic self-propulsion of a chemically active colloid where solute is consumed at both the colloid boundary and within the bulk solution. Assuming first-order kinetic…
Dispersion of run-and-tumble microswimmers through disordered media
David Saintillan
Understanding the transport properties of microorganisms and self-propelled particles in porous media has important implications for human health as well as microbial ecology. In f…
Cell motility modes are selected by the interplay of mechanosensitive adhesion and membrane tension
Yuzhu Chen, David Saintillan, Padmini Rangamani
The initiation of directional cell motion requires symmetry breaking that can happen both with or without external stimuli. During cell crawling, forces generated by the cytoskelet…
