  1. 1. Particle-Size Effects on the Enhanced Diffusion of Tracer Particles in Microswimmer Suspensions

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen; Lunds universitet/Fysikalisk kemi

    Author : Andre Nüsslein; [2020]
    Keywords : Microswimmers; Soft Matter; Tracer Particles; Lattice-Boltzmann; Simulation; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : Active suspensions of microswimmers such as bacteria or microalgae are found in oceans or lakes, and within living organisms, such as the human body. These suspensions can exhibit complex flow patterns and enhanced diffusion of passive tracer particles due to the advection from the long-ranged dipolar flow fields of the swimmers. READ MORE
