How inertial lift affects the dynamics of a microswimmer in Poiseuille flow

A Choudhary, S Paul, F Rühle, H Stark - Communications Physics, 2022 - nature.com
The transport of motile microorganisms is strongly influenced by fluid flows that are
ubiquitous in biological environments. Here we demonstrate the impact of fluid inertia. We …

Swimmer dynamics in externally driven fluid flows: The role of noise

SA Berman, KA Mitchell - Physical Review Fluids, 2022 - APS
We theoretically investigate the effect of random fluctuations on the motion of elongated
microswimmers near hydrodynamic transport barriers in externally driven fluid flows …

Numerical modeling of dispersion of swimming bacteria in a Poiseuille flow

A Ganesh, C Douarche, M Dentz, H Auradou - Physical Review Fluids, 2023 - APS
This paper reports a numerical study of the dispersion of bacteria modeled as active
Brownian ellipsoids placed in a plane Poiseuille flow. The longitudinal (along the flow …
