Optimal Design of Bacterial Carpets for Fluid Pumping

Optimal Design of Bacterial Carpets for Fluid Pumping

In this work, we outline a methodology for determining optimal helical flagella placement and phase shift that maximize fluid pumping through a rectangular flow meter above a simulated bacterial carpet. This method uses a Genetic Algorithm (GA) combined with a gradient-based method, the Broyden-Flet...
