Journal ArticleDOI

Fluid Mechanics of Planktonic Microorganisms

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss the fluid physics governing the locomotion and feeding of individual planktonic microorganisms (≤ 1 mm) and provide a review of the recent advances in this area.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dynamics of Enhanced Tracer Diffusion in Suspensions of Swimming Eukaryotic Microorganisms

TL;DR: The role of flagellar beating in creating oscillatory flows that exceed brownian motion far from each swimmer is emphasized, with a time-dependent but self-similar probability distribution function of displacements consisting of a gaussian core and robust exponential tails.
Journal ArticleDOI

Bacterial transport suppressed by fluid shear

TL;DR: It is shown that hydrodynamic shear, which creates forces and torques on bacterial suspensions, stimulates the attachment of bacteria to surfaces and seriously hinders chemotaxis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Bacteria can exploit a flagellar buckling instability to change direction

TL;DR: High-speed video microscopy and mechanical stability theory now show that cells propelled with a single flagellum change direction with a flick-like motion that exploits a buckling instability.
Journal ArticleDOI

Oscillatory Flows Induced by Microorganisms Swimming in Two Dimensions

TL;DR: The first time-resolved measurements of the oscillatory velocity field induced by swimming unicellular microorganisms are presented, revealing complex time-dependent flow structures, and scales inversely with distance.
