Hydrodynamic alignment of microswimmers in pipes
Norihiro Oyama, John Jairo Molina, Ryoichi Yamamoto
We investigate the dynamics of model microswimmers under confinement, in cylindrical geometries, by means of three dimensional direct numerical calculations with fully resolved hyd…
Collective motion of cells crawling on a substrate: roles of cell shape and contact inhibition
Simon Kaspar Schnyder, Yuki Tanaka, John Jairo Molina +1
Contact inhibition plays a crucial role in the motility of cells, the process of wound healing, and the formation of tumors. By mimicking the mechanical motion of calls crawling on…
Do hydrodynamically assisted binary collisions lead to orientational ordering of microswimmers?
Norihiro Oyama, John Jairo Molina, Ryoichi Yamamoto
We have investigated the onset of collective motion in systems of model microswimmers, by performing a comprehensive analysis of the binary collision dynamics using three dimension…
Collective behavior of strongly confined suspensions of squirmers
Jean-Baptiste Delfau, John Molina, Masaki Sano
We run numerical simulations of strongly confined suspensions of model spherical swimmers called "squirmers". Because of the confinement, the Stokeslet dipoles generated by the par…
