Anisotropic diffusion of ellipsoidal tracers in microswimmer suspensions [PDF]
Physical Review Fluids, 2021 Tracer particles immersed in suspensions of biological microswimmers such as E. coli or Chlamydomonas display phenomena unseen in conventional equilibrium systems, including strongly enhanced diffusivity relative to the Brownian value and non-Gaussian ...

Effective Viscosity of Microswimmer Suspensions [PDF]
Physical Review Letters, 2010 The measurement of a quantitative and macroscopic parameter to estimate the global motility of a large population of swimming biological cells is a challenge Experiments on the rheology of active suspensions have been performed. Effective viscosity of sheared suspensions of live unicellular motile micro-algae (\textit{Chlamydomonas Reinhardtii}) is far

Shape matters: a Brownian microswimmer in a channel [PDF]
Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2020 We consider the active Brownian particle model for a two-dimensional microswimmer with fixed speed, whose direction of swimming changes according to a Brownian process. The probability density for the swimmer obeys a Fokker–Planck equation defined on the

Micromachines, 2018 The human body is constantly attacked by pathogens. Various lines of defence have evolved, among which the immune system is principal. In contrast to most pathogens, the African trypanosomes thrive freely in the blood circulation, where they escape ...

A deformable microswimmer in a swirl: capturing and scattering dynamics [PDF]
, 2014 Inspired by the classical Kepler and Rutherford problem, we investigate an analogous set-up in the context of active microswimmers: the behavior of a deformable microswimmer in a swirl flow. First we identify new steady bound states in the swirl flow and
