Hydrodynamics constrain choanoflagellate collar geometry
Tasawar Iqbal, Catherine Penington, Christian Thomas +1
As the closest living relatives of animals, choanoflagellates exhibit remarkable diversity. Even their microvilli collar, used to filter and capture food, varies significantly amon…

A Taylor swimming sheet under a finite Brinkman layer
Tasawar Iqbal, Catherine Penington, Christian Thomas +1
An asymptotic approach is employed to study the swimming speed of a two-dimensional Taylor swimming sheet beneath a Brinkman layer of finite thickness. This configuration is repres…
