A review on gyrotactic swimmers in turbulent flows
Many marine plankton species are motile and perform daily vertical migrations, traveling
across water columns over distances of tens of meters. It is intriguing that these tiny and slow …

Microswimmer trap** in surface waves with shear
Many species of phytoplankton migrate vertically near the surface of the ocean, in search of
either light or nutrients. These motile organisms are affected by ocean surface waves. We …

How turbulence increases the bubble-particle collision rate
We study the effect of turbulence on collisions between a finite-size bubble and small inertial
particles based on interface-resolved simulations. Our results show that the interaction with …
