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

Fluid circulation driven by collectively organized metachronal waves in swimming T. aceiti nematodes [PDF]
Physical Review E, 2022 Recent experiments have shown that the nematode {\it T. aceti} can assemble into collectively undulating groups at the edge of fluid drops. This coordinated state consists of metachronal waves and drives fluid circulation inside the drop. We find that the circulation velocity is about 2 mm/s and nearly half the speed of the metachronal wave. We develop

Heat transfer analysis of Rabinowitsch fluid flow due to metachronal wave of cilia
Results in Physics, 2015 The present investigation concerns with the mechanical properties of a Rabinowitsch fluid model and the effects of thermal conductivity over it. Flow is considered to be occurring due to metachronal wave produced as a result of constant beating of cilia ...

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 ...

In vivo volumetric depth-resolved imaging of cilia metachronal waves using dynamic optical coherence tomography. [PDF]
Optica, 2023 Motile cilia are dynamic hair-like structures covering epithelial surfaces in multiple organs. The periodic coordinated beating of cilia creates waves propagating along the surface, known as the metachronal waves, which transport fluids and mucus along ...

Magnetic cilia carpets with programmable metachronal waves [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2020 AbstractMetachronal waves commonly exist in natural cilia carpets. These emergent phenomena, which originate from phase differences between neighbouring self-beating cilia, are essential for biological transport processes including locomotion, liquid pumping, feeding, and cell delivery.
