Asymptotic theory of hydrodynamic interactions between slender filaments
Asymptotic theory of hydrodynamic interactions between slender filaments
Hydrodynamic interactions (HIs) are important in biophysics research because they influence both the collective and the individual behaviour of microorganisms and self-propelled particles. For instance, HIs at the micro-swimmer level determine the attraction or repulsion between individuals, and hence their collective behaviour. Meanwhile, HIs between swimming appendages (e.g. cilia and …
