Simulating the swimming motion of a flagellated bacterium in a microstructured bio-fluid
Arjun Sharma, Sabarish V. Narayanan, Sarah Hormozi +1
We develop a numerical framework to simulate the locomotion of a flagellated bacterium with a spheroidal head (such as Escherichia coli) in biological fluids like mucus, which are…

Convective scalar transport from spherical drops in complex shearing flows
Sabarish V. Narayanan, Ganesh Subramanian
We calculate the scalar transport rate, as characterized by the Nusselt number\,(), from a neutrally buoyant spherical drop in an ambient linear flow, in the absence of inertia…
