Fluid dynamics of self-propelled microorganisms, from individuals to concentrated populations (2007, background): “Such convective dynamics also occur with swimming cells of algae (Pedley and Kessler 1992; Hill and Pedley 2005), plants that swim upward, toward light, and/or because of orientation of the cells in the earth’s gravitational field.”
Spherical squirmers: models for swimming micro-organisms (2016, methodology): “These particular displacement functions are the same as those chosen by Magar & Pedley (2005) and by Wang & Ardekani (2012) to represent isolated unsteady squirmers; different choices of the constants bj permit hovering (Ū = 0) and neutral swimming (B2 = 0) as well as general streaming.”
The role of porous media in modeling flow and heat transfer in biological tissues (2003, background): “Bioconvection is a terminology assigned to patternforming motions which are set up as a result of hydrodynamic instabilities in suspensions of swimming microorganisms [63].”
