Shear-Induced Wobbling and Motility Suppression in Swimming Bacteria
Wei Feng, Fanglong Dang, Hao Luo +3
The intricate wobbling motion of flagellated bacteria, characterized by the periodic precession of the cell body, is a determinant factor in their motility and navigation within co…
Self-learning how to swim at low Reynolds number
Alan Cheng Hou Tsang, Pun Wai Tong, Shreyes Nallan +1
Synthetic microswimmers show great promise in biomedical applications such as drug delivery and microsurgery. Their locomotion, however, is subject to stringent constraints due to…
Density shock waves in confined microswimmers
Alan Cheng Hou Tsang, Eva Kanso
Motile and driven particles confined in microfluidic channels exhibit interesting emergent behavior from propagating density bands to density shock waves. A deeper understanding of…
Pursuit and Synchronization in Hydrodynamic Dipoles
Eva Kanso, Alan Tsang
We study theoretically the behavior of a class of hydrodynamic dipoles. This study is motivated by recent experiments on synthetic and biological swimmers in microfluidic \textit{H…
Circularly-confined microswimmers exhibit multiple global patterns
Alan Cheng Hou Tsang, Eva Kanso
Geometric confinement plays an important role in the dynamics of natural and synthetic microswimmers from bacterial cells to self-propelled particles in high-throughput microfluidi…
Flagella-induced transitions in the collective behavior of confined microswimmers
Alan Cheng Hou Tsang, Eva Kanso
Bacteria exist in a free-swimming state or in a sessile biofilm state. The transition from free-swimming to sessile mode is characterized by changes in gene expression which alter,…
