Squirmer hydrodynamics near a periodic surface topography
Kenta Ishimoto, Eamonn A. Gaffney, David J. Smith
The behaviour of microscopic swimmers has previously been explored near large scale confining geometries and in the presence of very small-scale surface roughness. Here we consider…

Control and controllability of microswimmers by a shearing flow
Clément Moreau, Kenta Ishimoto, Eamonn A. Gaffney +1
With the continuing rapid development of artificial microrobots and active particles, questions of microswimmer guidance and control are becoming ever more relevant and prevalent.…
