The third edition of Bubbles, Drops, and Particles in Non-Newtonian Fluids provides
comprehensive coverage of the scientific foundations and the latest advances in particle …

Microscale propulsion impacts a diverse array of fields ranging from biology and ecology to
health applications, such as infection, fertility, drug delivery, and microsurgery. However …

Microscopic organisms must frequently swim through complex biofluids, including bacterial
biofilms and the mucus lining of the upper respiratory tract. Recently, there has been great …

Microorganisms are commonly found swimming in complex biological fluids such as mucus
and these fluids respond elastically to deformation. These viscoelastic fluids have been …

We present a comprehensive 3D numerical study of particles with imposed velocities
relative to the local bulk flow (termed “slip velocities”) in a viscoelastic shear flow. We …

A key feature of many living systems, such as bacteria and eukaryotic cells, is their ability to
actively self-propel. Indeed, cellular motility underlies numerous critical biological …

We investigate aspects of the spherical squirmer model employing both large-scale
numerical simulations and asymptotic methods when the squirmer is placed in weakly …

Boger fluids that exhibit a rate-independent shear viscosity (typically∼ 1 Pa∙ s= 1000x water
viscosity) and elasticity measurable using torsional rheometers (modulus, relaxation time, or …

This study examines the movement of a small freely rotating spherical particle in a two-
dimensional trajectory through a viscoelastic fluid described by the Giesekus model. The …

We study the transient and steady shear rheology of rigid particle suspensions in Boger
fluids via complete 3D numerical simulations and experiments. We calculate the transient …
