A Reduced Model for a Phoretic Swimmer
A. Farutin, M. S. Rizvi, W. -F. Hu +3
We consider a 2D model of an autophoretic particle in which the particle has a circular shape and emits/absorbs a solute that diffuses and is advected by the suspending fluid. Beyo…
Deflection of phototactic microswimmers through obstacle arrays
Marvin Brun-Cosme-Bruny, Andre Förtsch, Walter Zimmermann +3
We study the effect of inhomogeneous environments on the swimming direction of the microalgae \textit{Chlamydomonas Reinhardtii} (CR) in the presence of a light stimulus. Positive…
Effective diffusivity of microswimmers in a crowded environment
Marvin Brun-Cosme-Bruny, Eric Bertin, Benoît Coasne +2
The microalga Chlamydomonas Reinhardtii (CR) is used here as a model system to study the effect of complex environments on the swimming of micro-organisms. Its motion can be modell…
Amoeboid swimming in a channel
Hao Wu, A. Farutin, W. -F. Hu +5
Several micro-organisms, such as bacteria, algae, or spermatozoa, use flagella or cilia to swim in a fluid, while many other micro-organisms instead use ample shape deformation, de…
Amoeboid motion in confined geometry
Hao Wu, M. Thiébaud, W. -F. Hu +5
Many eukaryotic cells undergo frequent shape changes (described as amoeboid motion) that enable them to move forward. We investigate the effect of confinement on a minimal model of…
Effective viscosity of a suspension of flagellar beating microswimmers: Three-dimensional modeling
Levan Jibuti, Walter Zimmermann, Salima Rafaï +1
Micro-organisms usually can swim in their liquid environment by flagellar or ciliary beating. In this numerical work, we analyze the influence of flagellar beating on the orbits of…
