Active ciliated surfaces expel model swimmers.
Continually moving cilia on the surface of marine organisms provide a natural defense against biofouling. To probe the physical mechanisms underlying this antifouling behavior, we integrate the lattice Boltzmann and immersed boundary methods and undertake the first computational studies of the inter...
