In this review, we provide a theoretical introduction to Jeffery's equations for the orientation
dynamics of an axisymmetric object in a flow at low Reynolds number, and review recent …

Self-propelled particles, which convert energy into mechanical motion, exhibit inertia if they
have a macroscopic size or move inside a gaseous medium, in contrast to micron-sized …

Many self-propelled objects are large enough to exhibit inertial effects but still suffer from
environmental fluctuations. The corresponding basic equations of motion are governed by …

We study the collective dynamics of groups of whirligig beetles Dineutus discolor
(Coleoptera: Gyrinidae) swimming freely on the surface of water. We extract individual …

Understanding the local dynamics of microorganisms infecting a cell could help us develop
efficient strategies to counter their aggregation. In the present study we have introduced a …
