Short term vs. long term: optimization of microswimmer navigation on different time horizons
Navid Mousavi, Jingran Qiu, Lihao Zhao +2
We use reinforcement learning to find strategies that allow microswimmers in turbulence to avoid regions of large strain. This question is motivated by the hypothesis that swimming…
Efficient survival strategy for zooplankton in turbulence
Navid Mousavi, Jingran Qiu, Bernhard Mehlig +2
Zooplankton in a quiescent environment can detect predators by hydrodynamic sensing, triggering powerful escape responses. Since turbulent strain tends to mask the hydrodynamic sig…
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…
