Spontaneous onset of convection in a uniform phoretic channel
Sébastien Michelin, Simon Game, Eric Lauga +2
Phoretic mechanisms, whereby gradients of chemical solutes induce surface-driven flows, have recently been used to generate directed propulsion of patterned colloidal particles. Wh…
The instability of gyrotactically-trapped cell layers
Smitha Maretvadakethope, Eric E. Keaveny, Yongyun Hwang
Several meters below the coastal ocean surface there are areas of high ecological activity that contain thin layers of concentrated motile phytoplankton. Gyrotactic trapping has be…
Enhanced locomotion, effective diffusion, and trapping of undulatory micro-swimmers in heterogeneous environments
Arshad Kamal, Eric E Keaveny
Swimming cells and microorganisms must often move though complex fluids that contain an immersed microstructure such as polymer molecules, or filaments. In many important biologica…
Simulations of Brownian tracer transport in squirmer suspensions
Blaise Delmotte, Eric E Keaveny, Eric Climent +1
In addition to enabling movement towards environments with favourable living conditions, swimming by microorganisms has also been linked to enhanced mixing and improved nutrient up…
Locomotion of C. elegans in Structured Environments
Trushant S. Majmudar, Eric Keaveny, Mike Shelley +1
Undulatory locomotion of microorganisms like soil-dwelling worms and spermatozoa, in structured environments, is ubiquitous in nature. They navigate complex environments consisting…
