Dispersion of swimming algae in laminar and turbulent channel flows: consequences for photobioreactors
O. A. Croze, G. Sardina, M. Ahmed +2
Shear flow significantly affects the transport of swimming algae in suspension. For example, viscous and gravitational torques bias bottom-heavy cells to swim towards regions of do…
