The past two decades have seen a remarkable progress in the development of synthetic
colloidal agents which are capable of creating directed motion in an unbiased environment …

Activity and autonomous motion are fundamental in living and engineering systems. This
has stimulated the new field of'active matter'in recent years, which focuses on the physical …

Microswimmers exhibit an intriguing, highly-dynamic collective motion with large-scale
swirling and streaming patterns, denoted as active turbulence–reminiscent of classical high …

We study the interplay of steric and hydrodynamic interactions in suspensions of elongated
microswimmers by simulating the full hydrodynamics of squirmer rods in the quasi two …

Coarse-grained, mesoscale simulations are invaluable for studying soft condensed matter
because of their ability to model systems in which a background solvent plays a substantial …

Microswimmers or active elements, such as bacteria and active filaments, have an
elongated shape, which determines their individual and collective dynamics. There is still a …

Chemically active colloids modify the concentration of chemical solutes surrounding them in
order to self-propel. In doing so, they generate long-ranged hydrodynamic flows and …

Microswimmers exposed to microchannel flows exhibit an intriguing coupling between
propulsion, shape, hydrodynamics, and flow which gives rise to distinct swimming …

In this review we discuss the recent progress in the simulation of soft active matter systems
and in particular the hydrodynamics of microswimmers using the method of multiparticle …

Hydrodynamic interactions are fundamental for the dynamics of swimming self-propelled
particles. Specifically, bonds between microswimmers enforce permanent spatial proximity …
