The Role of the Double-Layer Potential in Regularised Stokeslet Models of Self-Propulsion
Published 2021-11-01“…We describe a meshless approach enabling the inclusion of the double layer which is applied to several Stokes flow problems in which neglect of the double layer is not strictly valid: the drag on a spherical droplet with partial-slip boundary condition, swimming velocity and rate of working of a force-free spherical squirmer, and trajectory, swimmer-generated flow and rate of working of undulatory swimmers of varying slenderness. …”

Low Reynolds Number Swimming Near Interfaces in Multi-Fluid Media
Published 2021-09-01“…Our simulation results indicate that the interface dynamics and phase separation in the multi-fluid mixture are closely coupled with the movement of the swimmer. Depending on the interface location, the frictional coefficient, and the multi-fluid composition, the swimmer can move faster or slower than that in a single phase fluid.…”

Collective behaviour of model microswimmers
Published 2010“…</p><p>Finally, we explore the phenomenon of synchronisation between microswimmers through hydrodynamic interactions, using the method of constraint forces on a force-based swimmer. We find that the hydrodynamic interactions between swimmers can alter the relative phase between them such that phase-locking can occur over the long term, altering their collective motion.…”
