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…
Passively parallel regularized stokeslets
Meurig T. Gallagher, David J. Smith
Stokes flow, discussed by G.G. Stokes in 1851, describes many microscopic biological flow phenomena, including cilia-driven transport and flagellar motility; the need to quantify a…
Doing more with less: the flagellar end piece enhances the propulsive effectiveness of human spermatozoa
Cara V. Neal, Atticus L. Hall-McNair, Jackson Kirkman-Brown +2
Spermatozoa self-propel by propagating bending waves along a predominantly active elastic flagellum. The organized structure of the "9 + 2" axoneme is lost in the most-distal few m…
Efficient Implementation of Elastohydrodynamics via Integral Operators
Atticus L. Hall-McNair, Thomas D. Montenegro-Johnson, Hermes Gadelha +2
The dynamics of geometrically non-linear flexible filaments play an important role in a host of biological processes, from flagella-driven cell transport to the polymeric structure…
Regularized Stokeslet rings - an efficient method for axisymmetric Stokes flow, with application to the growing pollen tube
James Tyrrell, David J Smith, Rosemary J Dyson
The method of regularized Stokeslets, based on the divergence-free exact solution to the equations of highly viscous flow due to a spatially-smoothed concentrated force, is widely…
Biological Fluid Mechanics Under the Microscope: A Tribute to John Blake
David J. Smith
John Blake (1947--2016) was a leader in fluid mechanics, his two principal areas of expertise being biological fluid mechanics on microscopic scales and bubble dynamics. He produce…
