Collective entrainment and confinement amplify transport by schooling micro-swimmers
Chenyu Jin, Yibo Chen, Corinna C. Maass +1
Micro-swimmers can serve as cargo carriers that move deep inside complex flow networks. When a school collectively entrains the surrounding fluid, their transport capacity can be e…
Membrane penetration and trapping of an active particle
Abdallah Daddi-Moussa-Ider, Segun Goh, Benno Liebchen +6
The interaction between nano- or micro-sized particles and cell membranes is of crucial importance in many biological and biomedical applications such as drug and gene delivery to…
Nutrient transport driven by microbial active carpets
Arnold J. T. M. Mathijssen, Francisca Guzmán-Lastra, Andreas Kaiser +1
We demonstrate that active carpets of bacteria or self-propelled colloids generate coherent flows towards the substrate, and propose that these currents provide efficient pathways…
Oscillatory surface rheotaxis of swimming E. coli bacteria
Arnold Mathijssen, Nuris Figueroa-Morales, Gaspard Junot +3
Bacterial contamination of biological conducts, catheters or water resources is a major threat to public health and can be amplified by the ability of bacteria to swim upstream. Th…
Understanding the Onset of Oscillatory Swimming in Microchannels
Joost de Graaf, Arnold J. T. M. Mathijssen, Marc Fabritius +3
Self-propelled colloids (swimmers) in confining geometries follow trajectories determined by hydrodynamic interactions with the bounding surfaces. However, typically these interact…
Lattice-Boltzmann Hydrodynamics of Anisotropic Active Matter
Joost de Graaf, Henri Menke, Arnold J. T. M. Mathijssen +3
A plethora of active matter models exist that describe the behavior of self-propelled particles (or swimmers), both with and without hydrodynamics. However, there are few studies t…
