Frontiers of chaotic advection
Hassan Aref, John R. Blake, Marko Budišić +20
This work reviews the present position of and surveys future perspectives in the physics of chaotic advection: the field that emerged three decades ago at the intersection of fluid…
Symmetry breaking cilia-driven flow in the zebrafish embryo
Andrew A. Smith, Thomas D. Johnson, David J. Smith +1
Fluid mechanics plays a vital role in early vertebrate embryo development, an example being the establishment of left-right asymmetry. Following the dorsal-ventral and anterior-pos…
Modelling the Fluid Mechanics of Cilia and Flagella in Reproduction and Development
Thomas D. Montenegro-Johnson, Andrew A. Smith, David J. Smith +2
Cilia and flagella are actively bending slender organelles, performing functions such as motility, feeding and embryonic symmetry breaking. We review the mechanics of viscous-domin…
Surface accumulation of spermatozoa: a fluid dynamic phenomenon
David J. Smith, John R. Blake
Recent mathematical fluid dynamics models have shed light into an outstanding problem in reproductive biology: why do spermatozoa cells show a 'preference' for swimming near to sur…
Mathematical embryology: the fluid mechanics of nodal cilia
David J. Smith, Andrew A. Smith, John R. Blake
Left-right symmetry breaking is critical to vertebrate embryonic development; in many species this process begins with cilia-driven flow in a structure termed the `node'. Primary `…
