Locomotion on a lubricating fluid with spatial viscosity variations
Takahiro Kanazawa, Kenta Ishimoto
We studied locomotion of a crawler on a thin Newtonian fluid film whose viscosity varied spatially. We first derived a general locomotion velocity formula with fluid viscosity vari…
Inertial focusing of spherical capsule in pulsatile channel flows
Naoki Takeishi, Kenta Ishimoto, Naoto Yokoyama +1
We present numerical analysis of the lateral movement of spherical capsule in the steady and pulsatile channel flow of a Newtonian fluid, for a wide range of oscillatory frequency.…
Localization and bistability of bioconvection in a doubly periodic domain
Yoshiki Hiruta, Kenta Ishimoto
A suspension of swimming microorganisms often generates a large-scale convective pattern known as bioconvection. In contrast to the thermal Rayleigh-Benard system, recent experimen…
Generalised Taylor dispersion of chiral microswimmers
Keito Ogawa, Kenta Ishimoto
Transport phenomena of microswimmers in fluid flows play a crucial role in various biological processes, including bioconvection and cell sorting. In this paper, we investigate the…
