Geometric capture and escape of a microswimmer colliding with an obstacle

SE Spagnolie, GR Moreno-Flores, D Bartolo, E Lauga - Soft Matter, 2015 - pubs.rsc.org
Motivated by recent experiments, we consider the hydrodynamic capture of a microswimmer
near a stationary spherical obstacle. Simulations of model equations show that a swimmer …

Giant adsorption of microswimmers: Duality of shape asymmetry and wall curvature

A Wysocki, J Elgeti, G Gompper - Physical Review E, 2015 - APS
The effect of shape asymmetry of microswimmers on their adsorption capacity at confining
channel walls is studied by a simple dumbbell model. For a shape polarity of a forward …
