Pair dispersion in dilute suspension of active swimmers by Belan, Sergey, Kardar, Mehran

“…Although each tracer is subject to strong fluctuations resulting in large absolute diffusivity, the small-scale relative dispersion is suppressed due to the correlations in fluid velocity which are relevant when the inter-tracer separation is below the persistence length of the swimmer's motion. Our results suggest that the reorientation of swimming direction plays an important role in biological mixing and should be accounted in the design of potential active matter devices capable of effective fluid mixing at microscale.…”

Active ciliated surfaces expel model swimmers. by Shum, H, Tripathi, A, Yeomans, J, Balazs, A

“…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 interactions between actuated, biomimetic cilia and a model swimmer. We find that swimmers are effectively "knocked away" from the ciliated surface through a combination of steric repulsion and locally fluctuating flows. …”

A circle swimmer at low Reynolds number. by Ledesma-Aguilar, R, Löwen, H, Yeomans, J

“…Here we propose a simple model for a swimmer that undergoes circular motion, generalising the model of a linear swimmer proposed by Najafi and Golestanian (Phys. …”

Swimmer-tracer scattering at low Reynolds number by Dunkel, J, Putz, V, Zaid, I, Yeomans, J

“…Specifically, we compare the tracer motion induced by an externally driven colloid with the one generated by various self-motile, multi-sphere swimmers. Our results suggest that force-free swimmers generically induce loop-shaped tracer trajectories. …”

Enhancing Swimming Performance by Optimizing Structure of Helical Swimmers by Jiaqi Miao, Xiaolong Li, Bo Liang, Jiongzhe Wang, Xiaofei Xu

“…Recently, inspired by the way the prokaryotic flagella rotates to drive the body forward, numerous studies have been carried out to study the swimming properties of helical swimmers. In this study, the resistive force theory (RFT) was applied to analyze the influence of dimensional and kinematical parameters on the propulsion performance of conventional helical swimmers. …”
