Chirotactic response of microswimmers in fluids with odd viscosity

Y Hosaka, M Chatzittofi, R Golestanian, A Vilfan - Physical Review Research, 2024 - APS
Odd viscosity is a property of chiral active fluids with broken time-reversal and parity
symmetries. We show that the flow of such a fluid around a rotating axisymmetric body is …

Mixing in stratified fluids

VA Shaik, GJ Elfring - arXiv preprint arXiv:2407.05166, 2024 - arxiv.org
We find the mixing induced by a small swimming organism in a density stratified fluid. We
model the swimmer as a spherical squirmer and quantify mixing through a mixing efficiency …
