Programmable metachronal motion of closely packed magnetic artificial cilia.

open access: yesLab on a Chip
Despite recent advances in artificial cilia technologies, the application of metachrony, which is the collective wavelike motion by cilia moving out-of-phase, has been severely hampered by difficulties in controlling closely packed artificial cilia at ...

Waving transport and propulsion in a generalized Newtonian fluid [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Non-Newtonian Fluid Mechanics, Volume 199, September 2013, Pages 37-50, 2014
Cilia and flagella are hair-like appendages that protrude from the surface of a variety of eukaryotic cells and deform in a wavelike fashion to transport fluids and propel cells. Motivated by the ubiquity of non-Newtonian fluids in biology, we address mathematically the role of shear-dependent viscosities on both the waving flagellar locomotion and ...

Emergence of metachronal waves in cilia arrays: a hydrodynamic mechanism

open access: yes, 2016
International audience; The present work reports the emergence of metachronal waves in cilia arrays immersed in a two-fluid environment using acoupled lattice Boltzmann - Immersed Boundary method. The periciliary layer (PCL) is confined between the wall and the mucus layer.
