Density stratification due to temperature or salinity variations greatly influences the flow
around and the sedimentation of objects such as particles, drops, bubbles, and small …

The fluid dynamics of microswimmers has received attention from the fields of microbiology,
microrobotics, and active matter. Microorganisms have evolved organelles termed cilia for …

We simulated the motions and interactions of circular squirmers under gravity in a two-
dimensional channel at finite fluid inertia, aiming to provide a comprehensive analysis of the …

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 swimming mode of two interacting squirmers under gravity in a narrow vertical channel
is simulated numerically using the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) in the range of self …

The paired review papers in Parts I and II describe the 50-year history of research on the
biomechanics of swimming microorganisms and its prospects in the next 50 years. Parts I …

In order to study the dynamic characteristics of micro-organisms or engineered swimmers,
the simulations of the motion and interaction of a pair of squirmers in a shear flow are …

In this work, we study the axisymmetric motion of a prototypical swimming organism, a
spherical squirmer, in a linearly density-stratified fluid. We assume the inertia is negligible …

Much work has been done to understand the settling dynamics of spherical particles in a
homogeneous and stratified fluid. However, the effects of shape anisotropy on the settling …

Suspensions of semi-transparent particles such as polystyrene microparticles are commonly
used as model systems in the study of micro-rheology, biology, and microfluidics …
