Study on the motion of squirmers close to a curved boundary
We numerically investigate the behaviors of a hydrodynamic squirmer interacting with a circular obstacle using the lattice Boltzmann method. It is interesting to find that in most cases, pullers (gaining thrust from the front) move forward while pushers (gaining thrust from the rear) move backward....
