Adaptive shape control for microswimmer navigation in turbulence
Jingran Qiu, Lorenzo Piro, Luca Biferale +3
Navigation in turbulent environments is a fundamental challenge for biological and artificial microswimmers. While most existing studies focus on adapting motility or steering, the…
Defects, parcellation, and renormalized negative diffusivities in non-homogeneous oscillatory media
Marie Sellier-Prono, Massimo Cencini, David Kleinfeld +1
Spatial non-homogeneities can synchronize clusters of spatially-extended oscillators in different frequency plateaus. Motivated by physiological rhythms, we fully characterize the…
Scalar absorption by particles advected in a turbulent flow
A. Sozza, M. Cencini, F. De Lillo +1
We investigate the effects of turbulent fluctuations on the Lagrangian statistics of absorption of a scalar field by tracer particles, as a model for nutrient uptake by suspended n…
Alignment of non-spherical active particles in chaotic flows
M. Borgnino, K. Gustavsson, F. De Lillo +3
We study the orientation statistics of spheroidal, axisymmetric microswimmers, with shapes ranging from disks to rods, swimming in chaotic, moderately turbulent flows. Numerical si…
Speciation-rate dependence in species-area relationships
Simone Pigolotti, Massimo Cencini
The general tendency for species number (S) to increase with sampled area (A) constitutes one of the most robust empirical laws of ecology, quantified by species-area relationships…
