Hydrodynamic interactions between squirmers near walls: far-field dynamics and near-field cluster stability

Confinement increases contacts between microswimmers in dilute suspensions and affects their interactions. In particular, boundaries have been shown experimentally to lead to the formation of clusters that would not occur in bulk fluids. To what extent does hydrodynamics govern these boundary-driven...
