Durotaxis in viscoelastic fluids
Vaseem A. Shaik, Jiahao Gong, Gwynn J. Elfring
Organisms often swim through fluids that are spatially inhomogeneous. If the fluids are polymeric, gradients in polymer concentration may lead to gradients in both fluid viscosity…
Swimming efficiency in viscosity gradients
Jiahao Gong, Vaseem A. Shaik, Gwynn J. Elfring
In this note, we study the effect of viscosity gradients on the energy dissipated by the motion of microswimmers and the associated efficiency of that motion. Using spheroidal squi…
Active spheroids in viscosity gradients
Jiahao Gong, Vaseem A. Shaik, Gwynn J. Elfring
In this paper, we explore the hydrodynamics of spheroidal active particles in viscosity gradients. This work provides a more accurate modeling approach, in comparison to spherical…
