Bacterial adhesion to curved surfaces in fluid flow
Edwina F. Yeo, Benjamin J. Walker, Philip Pearce +1
Minimising bacterial surface adhesion and subsequent biofilm formation in industrial and medical settings requires understanding how bacteria are transported and adhere to complex…
Far-field approximations for multi-timescale microswimmers near a boundary
Sara Drummond-Curtis, Mohit P. Dalwadi, Benjamin J. Walker
Hydrodynamic interactions with boundaries can significantly affect the trajectories of microscale swimmers. In simple swimmer models, a common assumption is that swimmer shape rema…
Chemotaxis of cell aggregates: morphology and dynamics of migrating active droplets
Giulia L. Celora, Benjamin J. Walker, Mohit P. Dalwadi +1
Biological tissues have been observed to display emergent fluid-like properties, owing to physical interactions between cells. However, it remains unclear in general how these flui…
A shear-induced limit on bacterial surface adhesion in fluid flow
Edwina F. Yeo, Benjamin J. Walker, Philip Pearce +1
Controlling bacterial surface adhesion and subsequent biofilm formation in fluid systems is crucial for the safety and efficacy of medical and industrial processes. Here, we theore…
