Flexibility Controls Active-Filament Transport in Crowded Landscapes
Qingyi Di, Mohammad Fazelzadeh, Sara Jabbari-Farouji
Active filaments, ranging from motor-driven biopolymers to elongated bacteria and worms, are paradigmatic examples of deformable active matter. How filament flexibility interacts w…
Locomotion of Active Polymerlike Worms in Porous Media
Rosa Sinaasappel, Mohammad Fazelzadeh, Twan Hooijschuur +3
We investigate the locomotion of thin, living T. tubifex worms, which display active polymerlike behavior, within quasi-2D arrays of cylindrical pillars, examining varying spatial…
Conformation and dynamics of wet tangentially-driven active filaments
Loek van Steijn, Mohammad Fazelzadeh, Sara Jabbari-Farouji
We explore the impact of hydrodynamic interactions on the conformational and dynamical properties of wet tangentially-driven active polymers using multiparticle collision dynamics…
Active string fluids and gels formed by dipolar active Brownian particles in 3D
Maria Kelidou, Mohammad Fazelzadeh, Baptiste Parage +1
Self-propelled particles possessing permanent magnetic dipole moments occur naturally in magnetotactic bacteria and in man-made systems like active colloids or micro-robots. Yet, t…
