Effective viscosity of non-gravitactic Chlamydomonas Reinhardtii microswimmer suspensions
Matthias Mussler, Salima Rafai, Philippe Peyla +1
Active microswimmers are known to affect the macroscopic viscosity of suspensions in a more complex manner than passive particles. For puller-like microswimmers an increase in the…

Light control of the flow of phototactic microswimmer suspensions
Xabel Garcia, Salima Rafaï, Philippe Peyla
Some micro-algae are sensitive to light intensity gradients. This property is known as phototaxis: the algae swim toward a light source (positive phototaxis). We use this property…
