Squirmer hydrodynamics near a periodic surface topography
Kenta Ishimoto, Eamonn A. Gaffney, David J. Smith
The behaviour of microscopic swimmers has previously been explored near large scale confining geometries and in the presence of very small-scale surface roughness. Here we consider…
Efficient simulation of filament elastohydrodynamics in three dimensions
Benjamin J. Walker, Kenta Ishimoto, Eamonn A. Gaffney
Fluid-structure simulations of slender inextensible filaments in a viscous fluid are often plagued by numerical stiffness. Recent coarse-graining studies have reduced the computati…
The pairwise hydrodynamic interactions of synchronized spermatozoa
Benjamin J. Walker, Kenta Ishimoto, Eamonn A. Gaffney
The journey of mammalian spermatozoa in nature is well-known to be reliant on their individual motility. Often swimming in crowded microenvironments, the progress of any single swi…
Filament mechanics in a half-space via regularised Stokeslet segments
Benjamin J. Walker, Kenta Ishimoto, Hermes Gadêlha +1
We present a generalisation of efficient numerical frameworks for modelling fluid-filament interactions via the discretisation of a recently-developed, non-local integral equation…
A rigorous proof of the scallop theorem and a finite mass effect of a microswimmer
Kenta Ishimoto, Michio Yamada
We reconsider fluid dynamics for a self-propulsive swimmer in Stokes flow. With an exact definition of deformation of a swimmer, a proof is given to Purcell's scallop theorem inclu…
