Reprogrammable Magnetically Actuated Self‐Assembled Cilia Array

Advanced Intelligent Systems, 2023
Motile cilia move in an asymmetric pattern and implement a metachronal wave (MCW) to facilitate fluid movement in a viscous environment. Studies have been conducted to mimic MCW movement of motile cilia, but the fabrication process is too complicating or

Impact of cilia length and variable fluid properties on electroosmotic nanofluid flow in an inclined converging microchannel [PDF]

Scientific Reports
This study presents a mathematical model for the transport of non-Newtonian nanofluids in an inclined ciliated converging microchannel. The analysis focuses on the combined effects of cilia length variation, electroosmotic effect, and temperature ...

Viscous dissipation effects on the thermal radiatively induced micropolar fluid using the metachronal wave of cilia in the presence of slip constraints

Advances in Mechanical Engineering
Cilia motion is commonly located in mammalian cells of living organisms which continually grow and feature conspicuously. The ciliary apparatus is associated with cell cycle movement and proliferation, and cilia play a dynamic part in human and animal ...

Influence of radially magnetic field properties in a peristaltic flow with internal heat generation: Numerical treatment

Case Studies in Thermal Engineering, 2021
This article investigates the impact of radially varying magnetic field during the peristaltically flowing nanofluid in a finite flexible tube. The inner surface of axisymmetric tube is filled with metachronal waves of cilia. Flow is provoked as a result

Hydrodynamics of metachronal paddling: effects of varying Reynolds number and phase lag [PDF]

Royal Society Open Science, 2019
Negatively buoyant freely swimming crustaceans such as krill must generate downward momentum in order to maintain their position in the water column. These animals use a drag-based propulsion strategy, where pairs of closely spaced swimming limbs are ...
