Morphological Effects on Bacterial Brownian Motion: Validation of a Chiral Two-Body Model
Baopi Liu, Bowen Jin, Lu Chen +1
We systematically investigate how flagellar morphology governs the stability of bacterial Brownian motion, evaluating the effectiveness of a simplified chiral two-body model. This…
Effects of Near-Field Hydrodynamic Interactions on Bacterial Dynamics Near a Solid Surface
Baopi Liu, Lu Chen, Haiqin Wang
Near-field hydrodynamic interactions between bacteria and no-slip solid surfaces are the main mechanism underlying surface entrapment of bacteria. In this study, we employ a chiral…
Effects of Flagellar Morphology on Swimming Performance and Directional Control in Microswimmers
Baopi Liu, Lu Chen, Wenjun Xu
In a fluid environment, flagellated microswimmers propel themselves by rotating their flagella. The morphology of these flagella significantly influences forward speed, swimming ef…
Phase behaviors and dynamics of active particle systems in double-well potential
Lu Chen, Baopi Liu, Ning Liu
In this study, we investigate the behaviors and dynamics of self-propelled particles with active reorientation (AR) in a double-well potential. We explore the competition between A…
Effective and efficient modeling of the hydrodynamics for bacterial flagella
Baopi Liu, Lu Chen, Ji Zhang
The hydrodynamic interactions among bacterial cell bodies, flagella, and surrounding boundaries are essential for understanding bacterial motility in complex environments. In this…
