Fish evacuate smoothly respecting a social bubble
R. Larrieu, P. Moreau, C. Graff +2
Crowd movements are observed among different species and on different scales, from insects to mammals, as well as in non-cognitive systems, such as motile cells. When forced to esc…
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 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…
Comparison between advected-field and level-set methods in the study of vesicle dynamics
E. Maitre, C. Misbah, P. Peyla +1
Phospholipidic membranes and vesicles constitute a basic element in real biological functions. Vesicles are viewed as a model system to mimic basic viscoelastic behaviors of some c…
