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…
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…
Effective permeability conditions for diffusive transport through impermeable membranes with gaps
Molly Brennan, Edwina F. Yeo, Philip Pearce +1
Membranes regulate transport in a wide variety of industrial and biological applications. The microscale geometry of the membrane can significantly affect overall transport through…
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…
