Trapping study of nanofluids in an annulus with cilia
AIP Advances, 2015 The main purpose of this article is to present a mathematical model of ciliary motion in an annulus. In this analysis, two dimensional flow of a viscous nanofluid is observed in an annulus with ciliated tips. The current theoretical model may be supposed

Symplectic and antiplectic waves in an array of beating cilia attached to a closed body [PDF]
Phys. Rev. E 95, 052412 (2017), 2016 By taking into account the hydrodynamic interactions in a one dimensional array of model cilia attached to a no-slip cylinderical surface, we investigate their synchronized motion. We show, how does the emergence of metachronal waves depend on the initial state of the system and investigate the conditions under which, the formation of symplectic and ...
