Effects of flagellar morphology on swimming performance and directional control in microswimmers
The Physics of FluidsIn a fluid environment, flagellated microswimmers propel themselves by rotating their flagella. The morphology of these flagella significantly influences forward speed, swimming efficiency, and directional stability, which are critical for their survival.

Stable upstream swimming of a swarm of puller microswimmers
The Physics of FluidsRecent experiments have revealed that puller-type Janus microswimmers exhibit upstream swimming in the presence of an externally applied flow [Sharan et al., “Upstream rheotaxis of catalytic Janus spheres,” ACS Nano 16, 4599–4608 (2022)].

Dispersion of tumbling microswimmers in a plane poiseuille flow
The Physics of FluidsActive tumbling plays a key role in microswimmer transport. Using a continuum model based on the Smoluchowski equation, moment method, and generalized Taylor dispersion theory, the dispersion process of tumbling microswimmers is analyzed and ...
