Abstract: In this work, we focus on the motility behavior of two model micro-organisms widely used in the study of active fluids: Chlamydomonas reinhardtii micro-alga and Synechocystis sp. cyanobacterium. Understanding the physiological ...

Abstract: The simultaneous effects of flow pulsation and geometrical perturbation on laminar mixing in curved ducts have been numerically studied by three different metrics: analysis of the secondary flow patterns, Lyapunov exponents ...

Abstract: While a variety of active and passive techniques have been proposed for steady flows, pulsatile flow has received much less attention. Pulsation makes more control parameters available for passive methods and enables them ...
