Bioconvection patterns are usually observed in the laboratory in shallow suspensions of
randomly, but on average upwardly, swimming micro-organisms which are a little denser …

The term “bioconvection” describes hydrodynamic instabilities and patterns in suspensions
of biased swimming microorganisms. Hydrodynamic instabilities arise from coupling …

The aim of current attempt is to visualize the flow of ('modified') second-grade nanofluid with
heat, motile microorganisms and mass transfer rates over stretching surface. The modified …

Presenting state-of-the-art research advancements, this volume explores innovative
approaches to effectively apply existing porous media technologies to biomedical …

In order to understand the rheological and transport properties of a suspension of swimming
micro-organisms, it is necessary to analyse the fluid-dynamical interaction of pairs of such …

The rich and complex phenomena of the transport of active particles like microorganisms in
shear flows are of great significance to various biological and environmental applications …

In 1952, Lighthill introduced the simplest possible model of a swimming micro-organism of
finite size, intended as a model of a single-celled protozoan covered in beating cilia. The …

The rheological properties of a cell suspension may play an important role in the flow field
generated by populations of swimming micro-organisms (eg in bioconvection). In this paper …

The diffusive behaviour of swimming micro-organisms should be clarified in order to obtain a
better continuum model for cell suspensions. In this paper, a swimming micro-organism is …

Micro-organisms play a vital role in many biological, medical and engineering phenomena.
Some recent research efforts have demonstrated the importance of biomechanics in …
