[HTML][HTML] Dynamics and applications of finite-size fibre-like objects in turbulent flows

A Chiarini, ME Rosti, A Mazzino - European Journal of Mechanics-B/Fluids, 2024 - Elsevier
This review delves into the dynamics of fibre-laden turbulent flows, a field that has garnered
substantial attention due to its relevance in both natural and engineering contexts. The focus …

Active polar flock with birth and death

PK Mishra, S Mishra - Physics of Fluids, 2022 - pubs.aip.org
We study a collection of self-propelled polar particles on a two-dimensional substrate with
birth and death. We introduce a minimal lattice model for the system using active Ising spins …

Modeling straight and circle swimmers via immersed boundary methods: from single swimmer to collective motion

FM Ventrella, G Boffetta, M Cencini… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2024 - arxiv.org
We propose a minimal model of microswimmer based on immersed boundary methods. We
describe a swimmer (either pusher or puller) as a distribution of point forces, representing …

Swarm of slender pusher and puller swimmers at finite Reynolds numbers

M Cavaiola - Physics of Fluids, 2022 - pubs.aip.org
The study of the flow field resulting from suspensions of swimmers at moderate Reynolds
numbers, along with hydrodynamic interactions, has received little attention until now …
