The importance of being discrete -- An agent-based model for active nematics and more
Mathieu Dedenon, Carles Blanch-Mercader, Karsten Kruse +1
We propose an agent-based model of active flexible rods. Inspired by cytoskeletal flows, we introduce activity by an internal flow that contributes to the dissipative forces. The a…
Viscotaxis of Beating Flagella at Surfaces
Shubham Anand, Jens Elgeti, Gerhard Gompper
Many biological microorganisms and artificial microswimmers react to external cues of environmental gradients by changing their swimming directions. We study here the behavior of e…
Multi-Ciliated Microswimmers -- Metachronal Coordination and Helical Swimming
Sebastian Rode, Jens Elgeti, Gerhard Gompper
The dynamics and motion of multi-ciliated microswimmers with a spherical body and a small number N (with 5 < N < 60) of cilia with length comparable to the body radius, is investig…
Self-propelled Worm-like Filaments: Spontaneous Spiral Formation, Structure, and Dynamics
Rolf E. Isele-Holder, Jens Elgeti, Gerhard Gompper
Worm-like filaments that are propelled homogeneously along their tangent vector are studied by Brownian dynamics simulations. Systems in two dimensions are investigated, correspond…
Giant adsorption of microswimmers: duality of shape asymmetry and wall curvature
Adam Wysocki, Jens Elgeti, Gerhard Gompper
The effect of shape asymmetry of microswimmers on their adsorption capacity at confining channel walls is studied by a simple dumbbell model. For a shape polarity of a forward-swim…
Motility-sorting of self-propelled particles in micro-channels
Andrea Costanzo, Jens Elgeti, Thorsten Auth +2
Spontaneous segregation of run-and-tumble particles with different velocities in microchannels is investigated by numerical simulations. Self-propelled particles are known to accum…
