Hydrodynamic clustering of human sperm in viscoelastic fluids

We have numerically investigated sperm clustering behaviours, modelling cells as superpositions of regularised flow singularities, coarse-grained from experimentally obtained digital microscopy of human sperm, both in watery medium and a highly viscous– weakly elastic, methylcellulose medium. We fin...
