Sedimentation and structure of squirmer suspensions under gravity
C. Miguel Barriuso G., Horacio Serna, Ignacio Pagonabarraga +1
The effect of gravity on the collective motion of living microswimmers, such as bacteria and micro-algae, is pivotal to unravel not only bio-convection patterns but also the settli…
