Lattice Boltzmann simulations of two linear microswimmers using the immersed boundary method
D. Geyer, S. Ziegler, A. Sukhov +5
The performance of a single or the collection of microswimmers strongly depends on the hydrodynamic coupling among their constituents and themselves. We present a numerical study f…
Regimes of motion of magnetocapillary swimmers
Alexander Sukhov, Maxime Hubert, Galien Grosjean +6
The dynamics of a triangular magnetocapillary swimmer is studied using the lattice Boltzmann method. Performing extensive numerical simulations taking into account the coupled dyna…
Bio-inspired acousto-magnetic microswarm robots with upstream motility
Daniel Ahmed, David Hauri, Alexander Sukhov +4
The ability to propel against flows, i.e., to perform positive rheotaxis, can provide exciting opportunities for applications in targeted therapeutics and non-invasive surgery. To…
Capillary assemblies in a rotating magnetic field
Galien Grosjean, Maxime Hubert, Ylona Collard +4
Small objects floating on a fluid have a tendency to aggregate due to capillary forces. This effect has been used, with the help of a magnetic induction field, to assemble submilli…
Optimal motion of triangular magnetocapillary swimmers
Alexander Sukhov, Sebastian Ziegler, Qingguang Xie +7
A system of ferromagnetic particles trapped at a liquid-liquid interface and subjected to a set of magnetic fields (magnetocapillary swimmers) is studied numerically using a hybrid…
