The paired review papers in Parts I and II describe the 50-year history of research on the
biomechanics of swimming microorganisms and its prospects in the next 50 years. Parts I …

Many living beings use exogenous and/or endogenous gases to attain evolutionary benefits.
We make a comprehensive assessment of one of the major gaseous reservoirs in the …

We study low-Reynolds-number fluid flow through a two-dimensional porous medium
modeled as a Lorentz gas. Using extensive finite-element simulations we fully resolve the …

Understanding particle motion in narrow channels can guide progress in numerous
applications, from filtration to vascular transport. Thermal or active fluctuations of fluid-filled …

Food non-denatured processes, such as freeze-drying and grinding, are commonly applied
to raw materials with good bioactive functions. Although the functional components are …

Given the integral role of intestinal segmentation in food digestion and absorption, a Small
Intestinal Simulator (SIS) was developed with segmentation contractions. The model was …

The human large intestine contains a highly dynamic microbial ecosystem, where growing
microbial cells replenish the biomass regularly lost via feces. Growth is primarily fueled by …

We extend the 3D Lattice Boltzmann method with a deformable boundary (LBM-DB) for the
computations of the full-volume colonic flow of the Newtonian fluid driven by the peristaltic …

Intestinal gases are usually discarded as physiologically inert, useless sub-products of
colonic fermentation that must be expelled to prevent discomfort and meteorism. Starting …
