Simulating Microswimmers Under Confinement With Dissipative Particle (Hydro) Dynamics

Simulating Microswimmers Under Confinement With Dissipative Particle (Hydro) Dynamics

In this work we study microwimmers, whether colloids or polymers, embedded in bulk or in confinement. We explicitly consider hydrodynamic interactions and simulate the swimmers via an implementation inspired by the squirmer model. Concerning the surrounding fluid, we employ a Dissipative Particle Dy...
