Swimming by spinning: spinning-top type rotations regularize sperm swimming into persistently symmetric paths in 3D
Xiaomeng Ren, Hermes Bloomfield-Gadêlha
Sperm modulate their flagellar symmetry to navigate through complex physico-chemical environments and achieve reproductive function. Yet it remains elusive how sperm swim forwards…
The 3D coarse-graining formulation of interacting elastohydrodynamic filaments and multi-body microhydrodynamics
Paul Fuchter, Hermes Bloomfield-Gadêlha
Elastic filaments are vital to biological, physical and engineering systems, from cilia driving fluid in the lungs to artificial swimmers and micro-robotics. Simulating slender str…
Nonlinear amplitude dynamics in flagellar beating
David Oriola, Hermes Gadêlha, Jaume Casademunt
The physical basis of flagellar and ciliary beating is a major problem in biology which is still far from completely understood. The fundamental cytoskeleton structure of cilia and…
