Self-organisation of spermatozoa in bulk suspensions via unsteady elastohydrodynamic interactions
Nanami Taketoshi, Toshihiro Omori, Takuji Ishikawa
We developed a mechanical model of spermatozoal swimming in bulk suspensions. We traced the spatiotemporal elastohydrodynamic interactions and found that spermatozoa engaged in sel…
Rheology of a concentrated suspension of spherical squirmers: monolayer in simple shear flow
T. Ishikawa, D. R. Brumley, T. J. Pedley
A concentrated, vertical monolayer of identical spherical squirmers, which may be bottom-heavy, and which are subjected to a linear shear flow, is modelled computationally by two d…
Stability of dancing Volvox
Takuji Ishikawa, T. J. Pedley, K. Drescher +1
Biflagellate algal cells of the genus Volvox form spherical colonies that propel themselves, vertically upwards in still fluid, by the coordinated beating of thousands of flagella,…
Active particles in periodic lattices
Alexander Chamolly, Takuji Ishikawa, Eric Lauga
Both natural and artificial small-scale swimmers may often self-propel in environments subject to complex geometrical constraints. While most past theoretical work on low-Reynolds…
