Advances in colloidal manipulation and transport via hydrodynamic interactions

F Martínez-Pedrero, P Tierno - Journal of colloid and interface science, 2018 - Elsevier
In this review article, we highlight many recent advances in the field of micromanipulation of
colloidal particles using hydrodynamic interactions (HIs), namely solvent mediated long …

As above, so below, and also in between: mesoscale active matter in fluids

D Klotsa - Soft matter, 2019 - pubs.rsc.org
Living matter, such as biological tissue, can be viewed as a nonequilibrium hierarchical
assembly, where at each scale self-driven components come together by consuming energy …

Nonlinear electrophoretic velocity of a spherical colloidal particle

R Cobos, AS Khair - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2023 - cambridge.org
Electrophoresis is the motion of a charged colloidal particle in an electrolyte under an
applied electric field. The electrophoretic velocity of a spherical particle depends on the …

Swimming of an inertial squirmer and squirmer dumbbell through a viscoelastic fluid

Z Ouyang, Z Lin, J Lin, N Phan-Thien… - Journal of Fluid …, 2023 - cambridge.org
We investigate the hydrodynamics of a spherical and dumbbell-shaped swimmer in a
viscoelastic fluid, modelled by the Giesekus constitutive equation. The 'squirmer', a model of …

Study on the sedimentation and interaction of two squirmers in a vertical channel

Y Ying, T Jiang, D Nie, J Lin - Physics of Fluids, 2022 - pubs.aip.org
We simulated the sedimentation of two self-propelled particles in a two-dimensional (2D)
vertical channel using the lattice Boltzmann method. A 2D squirmer model was employed to …

The hydrodynamic behavior of a squirmer swimming in power-law fluid

Z Ouyang, J Lin, X Ku - Physics of Fluids, 2018 - pubs.aip.org
The hydrodynamic behavior of a squirmer swimming in the flow of power-law fluid is studied
numerically with an immersed boundary-lattice Boltzmann method. The power-law fluids …
