Tunable mesoscopic numerical model for bacterial biofilms
J. Martin-Roca, B. Wu-Zhang, J. Oller +2
We present a tunable mesoscale model to provide a basis for future rheological calculations of of bacterial biofilms, explicitly incorporating reversible crosslinking within the ex…

Many-body activity emerging in a monolayer of air-fluidized hollow pentagons
Wan-Jung Lin, Bohan Wu-Zhang, Rodrigo Fernández-Quevedo García +6
Particles governed by many-body interactions exhibit remarkably complex structures and dynamics. We experimentally investigate a monolayer of pentagon particles subjected to an up-…

Collective behavior of squirmers in thin films
Bohan Wu-Zhang, Dmitry A. Fedosov, Gerhard Gompper
Bacteria in biofilms form complex structures and can collectively migrate within mobile aggregates, which is referred to as swarming. This behavior is influenced by a combination o…
