Ciliary peristalsis flow of hydromagnetic Sutterby nanofluid through symmetric channel: Viscous dissipation in case of variable electrical conductivity

open access: yesEngineering Science and Technology, an International Journal
For the sperm to have the best chance of reaching the egg, the ciliated walls of the uterine tube must be meticulously monitored. Recognizing the significance of this investigation, a novel mathematical simulation of this process has been performed by ...

Metachronal wave coordination encodes multimodal swimming in ciliated unicellular predators

open access: yes
Motile cilia are slender cellular appendages, conserved across eukaryotes ranging from unicellular protists to humans, that beat to generate fluid flow. In most organisms, cilia form dense arrays of thousands of filaments that coordinate their motion into persistent, temporally synchronized patterns known as metachronal waves.

Metachronal wave formation in 3D cilia arrays for mucus transport

open access: yes, 2017
Propulsion by beating cilia is an universal phenomenon developed by nature as a way to propel fluids. For the particular case of the human body, cilia are responsible for the left-right asymmetry of the heart in the early embryonic development, for the transport of nutrients in the brain, and for the transport of bronchial mucus in the mucociliary ...
