Modeling active colloids: From active brownian particles to hydrodynamic and chemical fields

A Zöttl, H Stark - Annual Review of Condensed Matter Physics, 2023 - annualreviews.org
Active colloids are self-propelled particles moving in viscous fluids by consuming fuel from
their surroundings. Here, we review the numerical and theoretical modeling of active …

The reciprocal theorem in fluid dynamics and transport phenomena

H Masoud, HA Stone - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2019 - cambridge.org
In the study of fluid dynamics and transport phenomena, key quantities of interest are often
the force and torque on objects and total rate of heat/mass transfer from them …

Hydrodynamic interaction of microswimmers near a wall

GJ Li, AM Ardekani - Physical Review E, 2014 - APS
The hydrodynamics of an archetypal low-Reynolds number swimmer, called “squirmer,”
near a wall has been numerically studied. For a single squirmer, depending on the …

A squirmer across Reynolds numbers

NG Chisholm, D Legendre, E Lauga… - Journal of Fluid …, 2016 - cambridge.org
The self-propulsion of a spherical squirmer–a model swimming organism that achieves
