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 review recent work on active colloids at interfaces, including self-propelled colloids that
move by generating a propulsive force, and driven colloids that move under external fields …

Active particles (living or synthetic) often move through inhomogeneous environments, such
as gradients in light, heat or nutrient concentration, that can lead to directed motion (or taxis) …

Transport of material across liquid interfaces is ubiquitous for living cells and is also a crucial
step in drug delivery and in many industrial processes. The fluids that are present on either …

Elongated active units cannot spontaneously break rotation symmetry in bulk fluids to form
nematic or polar phases. This has led to the image of active suspensions as spontaneously …

Few simulations exist for microswimmers near deformable interfaces. Here, we present
numerical simulations of the hydrodynamic flows associated with a single microswimmer …

Flagellated microswimmers are ubiquitous in natural habitats. Understanding the
hydrodynamic behavior of these cells is of paramount interest, owing to their applications in …

In this study, the two-dimensional lattice Boltzmann method was employed to simulate the
motions and distributions of a circular squirmer in a linear shear flow. The objective was to …

Living organisms such as bacteria and algae often form biofilms at air–liquid and/or liquid–
liquid interfaces. Therefore, it is important to understand the hydrodynamic interaction …

A single light-driven Janus particle confined in a very thin oil droplet at an air--water
interface displays intriguing dynamics. While laser activation induces rapid horizontal motion …
