Synchronization in cilia carpets: multiple metachronal waves are stable, but one wave dominates [PDF]
New Journal of Physics, 2022 Carpets of actively bending cilia represent arrays of biological oscillators that can exhibit self-organized metachronal synchronization in the form of traveling waves of cilia phase.

Hydromechanical properties of metachronal swimming in polychaetes [PDF]
Scientific ReportsFree-swimming polychaetes are common in marine habitats and exhibit a unique form of swimming whereby a metachronal wave occurs simultaneously with a bending body wave.

Unraveling metachronal wave effects on heat and mass transfer in Non-Newtonian fluid
Case Studies in Thermal EngineeringNon-Newtonian fluids flow generated by “cilia” are critical in medicine and bio-medical engineering. Such investigations are created by the back-and-forth movement of a microscopic hair-like structure connected to the walls, which causes a metachronal ...

Metachronal wave analysis for non-Newtonian fluid under thermophoresis and Brownian motion effects
Results in Physics, 2017 This paper analyse the mathematical model of ciliary motion in an annulus. The effect of convective heat transfer and nanoparticle are taken into account. The governing equations of Jeffrey six-constant fluid along with heat and nanoparticle are modelled

Novel analytical tools reveal that local synchronization of cilia coincides with tissue-scale metachronal waves in zebrafish multiciliated epithelia [PDF]
eLife, 2023 Motile cilia are hair-like cell extensions that beat periodically to generate fluid flow along various epithelial tissues within the body. In dense multiciliated carpets, cilia were shown to exhibit a remarkable coordination of their beat in the form of ...
