Metallic Microswimmers Driven up the Wall by Gravity
Quentin Brosseau, Florencio Balboa Usabiaga, Enkeleida Lushi +5
As a natural and functional behavior, various microorganisms exhibit gravitaxis by orienting and swimming upwards against gravity. Swimming autophoretic nanomotors described herein…
Relating microswimmer synthesis to rheotactic tunability
Quentin Brosseau, Florencio Balboa Usabiaga, Enkeleida Lushi +5
We explore the behavior of micron-scale autophoretic Janus (Au/Pt) rods, having various Au/Pt length ratios, swimming near a wall in an imposed background flow. We find that their…
Directed collective motion of bacteria under channel confinement
Hugo Wioland, Enkeleida Lushi, Raymond E. Goldstein
Dense suspensions of swimming bacteria are known to exhibit collective behaviour arising from the interplay of steric and hydrodynamic interactions. Unconfined suspensions exhibit…
Dynamics of inert spheres in active suspensions of micro-rotors
Kyongmin Yeo, Enkeleida Lushi, Petia M. Vlahovska
Inert particles suspended in active fluids of self-propelled particles are known to often exhibit enhanced diffusion and novel coherent structures. Here we numerically investigate…
Collective Chemotactic Dynamics in the Presence of Self-Generated Fluid Flows
Enkeleida Lushi, Raymond E. Goldstein, Michael J. Shelley
In micro-swimmer suspensions locomotion necessarily generates fluid motion, and it is known that such flows can lead to collective behavior from unbiased swimming. We examine the c…
