Designing phoretic micro- and nano-swimmers
Small objects can swim by generating around them fields or gradients which in turn induce fluid motion past their surface by phoretic surface effects. We quantify for arbitrary swimmer shapes and surface patterns, how efficient swimming requires both surface “activity” to generate the fields, and surface “phoretic mobility.” We show in particular that (i) swimming requires symmetry breaking in ...
متن کاملLong time behaviour of solutions to a chemotaxis model with volume filling effect
The Lyapunov functional is constructed for a quasilinear parabolic system which models chemotaxis and takes into account a volume filling effect. For some typical case it is proved that ω−limit set of any trajectory consists of regular stationary solutions. Some lower and upper bounds on the stationary solutions are found. For some range of parameters there are stationary solutions which are in...
متن کاملChemotaxis and autochemotaxis of self-propelling droplet swimmers.
Chemotaxis and autochemotaxis play an important role in many essential biological processes. We present a self-propelling artificial swimmer system that exhibits chemotaxis as well as negative autochemotaxis. Oil droplets in an aqueous surfactant solution are driven by interfacial Marangoni flows induced by micellar solubilization of the oil phase. We demonstrate that chemotaxis along micellar ...
متن کاملWalk or ride? Phoretic behaviour of amblyceran and ischnoceran lice.
Phoresy is a behaviour where one organism hitches a ride on another more mobile organism. This is a common dispersal mechanism amongst relatively immobile species that specialise on patchy resources. Parasites specialise on patchily distributed resources: their hosts. Although host individuals are isolated in space and time, parasites must transmit between hosts or they will die with their host...
متن کاملLong Time Behaviour of Periodic Stochastic Flows
We consider the evolution of a set carried by a space periodic incompressible stochastic flow in a Euclidean space. We report on three main results obtained in [8, 9, 10] concerning long time behaviour for a typical realization of the stochastic flow. First, at time t most of the particles are at a distance of order √ t away from the origin. Moreover, we prove a Central Limit Theorem for the ev...
