The rich and complex phenomena of the transport of active particles like microorganisms in
shear flows are of great significance to various biological and environmental applications …

Researches on the solute dispersion with boundary adsorption and desorption are common
in various fields, such as chemistry, biology, and hydraulics. However, the Laplace …

Salient characteristics of activation energy and porous space on unsteady flow of nanofluid
are analyzed. Flow in porous space is characterized with Darcy-Forchheimer relation with …

For the dispersion of soluble matter in solvent flowing through a tube as investigated
originally by GI Taylor, a streamwise dispersion theory is developed from a Lagrangian …

Locomotion of self-propelled particles such as motile bacteria or phoretic swimmers often
takes place in the presence of applied flows and confining boundaries. Interactions of these …

When motile algal cells are exposed to gyrotactic torques, their swimming directions are
guided to form radial accumulation, well known as hydrodynamic focusing. The origin of …

The transport of motile micro-organisms exhibits rich and complex phenomena, of
significance to various biological and environmental applications. For dilute suspensions of …

Active particles often swim in confined environments. The transport mechanisms, especially
the global one as reflected by the Taylor dispersion model, are of great practical interest to …

Thin phytoplankton layers with vertically compressed structures found in stratified lakes and
coastal water bodies have been a hot-spot in marine science and fluid mechanics. Although …

Understanding the transport of micro-organisms in pipes is crucial to many fundamental
problems, such as bioconvection and biodiesel production. In this work, we investigate the …
