Ciliary propulsion and metachronal coordination in reef coral larvae
Physical Review Research, 2023 Larval dispersal is critical to the survival of coral reefs. As the only motile stage of the reproductive cycle, coral larvae choose a suitable location to settle and mature into adult corals.

Metachronal waves for deterministic switching two-state oscillators with hydrodynamic interaction [PDF]
Physical Review E, 2003 We employ a model system, called rowers, as a generic physical framework to define the problem of the coordinated motion of cilia (the metachronal wave) as a far from equilibrium process. Rowers are active (two-state) oscillators in a low Reynolds number fluid, and interact solely through the forces of hydrodynamic origin. In this work, we consider the

Advanced Engineering Materials, Volume 25, Issue 22, November 2023., 2023 A novel multifunctional magnetically actuated micro‐lamellar mechatronic platform for efficient transportation of droplets and small solid objects is reported. The propulsion is realized using a four‐pole rotating magnet, resulting in two modes of object transportation: “pushing” mode for precise positioning and “bouncing” mode for heavier solid ...

Reprogrammable Magnetically Actuated Self‐Assembled Cilia Array
Advanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 5, Issue 1, January 2023., 2023 A reprogrammable magnetically actuated self‐assembled (RMS) cilia array which has a shape and motion similar to natural cilia is proposed. It shows asymmetric motion and metachronal wave (MCW) by reprogramming and applying strike and rotating magnetic fields. Particle movements are examined in fluid tests and analyzed through simulations to confirm the

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 67, Issue 12, Page 2706-2717, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Lobate ctenophores are often numerically dominant members of oceanic epipelagic and midwater ecosystems. Despite this, little is known about their trophic ecology. Multiple, co‐occurring species are often found in these ecosystems and appear to feed similarly via feeding currents that entrain prey.

A Numerical Study of Metachronal Propulsion at Low to Intermediate Reynolds Numbers
Fluids, 2020 Inspired by the forward swimming of long-tailed crustaceans, we study an underwater propulsion mechanism for a swimming body with multiple rigid paddles attached underneath undergoing cycles of power and return strokes with a constant phase-difference ...

Mathematics, 2023 The spontaneous movement of natural motile cilia in the form of metachronal waves is responsible for fluid transport. These cilia, in particular, play important roles in locomotion, feeding, liquid pumping, and cell delivery.

Fractional Burgers Fluid Flow Due to Metachronal Ciliary Motion in an Inclined Tube
Frontiers in Physiology, 2019 Cilia-induced flow of fractional Burgers fluid is studied in an inclined tube for both symplectic and antiplectic wave patterns. The solution of the problem is persued under the long wave length limitation.
