Active gyrotactic stability of microswimmers using hydromechanical signals
Jingran Qiu, Navid Mousavi, Lihao Zhao +1
Many plankton species undergo daily vertical migration to large depths in the turbulent ocean. To do this efficiently, the plankton can use a gyrotactic mechanism, aligning them wi…
Navigation of micro-swimmers in steady flow: the importance of symmetries
J. Qiu, N. Mousavi, K. Gustavsson +3
Marine microorganisms must cope with complex flow patterns and even turbulence as they navigate the ocean. To survive they must avoid predation and find efficient energy sources. A…
Optimal control of point-to-point navigation in turbulent time-dependent flows using Reinforcement Learning
Michele Buzzicotti, Luca Biferale, Fabio Bonaccorso +2
We present theoretical and numerical results concerning the problem to find the path that minimizes the time to navigate between two given points in a complex fluid under realistic…
