Microswimmers create bicontinuous emulsions in binary fluids
Harinadha Gidituri, Sotiris Samatas, Juho S. Lintuvuori
We consider a generic case of neutrally wetting microswimmers in symmetric mixtures of two phase separating fluids, using hydrodynamic simulations. The swimmers spontaneously emuls…
Interface crossing behavior of prolate microswimmers: thermo and hydrodynamics
Rishish Mishra, Harish Pothukuchi, Harinadha Gidituri +1
Motivated by recent experiments of motile bacteria crossing liquid-liquid interfaces of isotropic- nematic coexistence (Cheon et al., Soft Matter 20: 7313-7320, 2024), we study the…
Swimming Efficiently by Wrapping
H. Gidituri, M. Ellero, F. Balboa Usabiaga
Single flagellated bacteria are ubiquitous in nature. They exhibit various swimming modes using their flagella to explore complex surroundings such as soil and porous polymer netwo…
Mapping flagellated swimmers to surface-slip driven swimmers
H. Gidituri, G. KabacaoÄlu, M. Ellero +1
Flagellated microswimmers are ubiquitous in natural habitats. Understanding the hydrodynamic behavior of these cells is of paramount interest, owing to their applications in bio-me…
