• Fluid dynamics and noise in bacterial cell–cell and cell–surface scattering (2011, unknown): “[18] Saintillan D, Shelley MJ (2008) Instabilities, pattern formation, and mixing in active suspensions.”
• Spherical squirmers: models for swimming micro-organisms (2016, unknown): “Non-gravitational instabilities have also been discovered in suspensions of bacteria (though not algae), driven by the stresses applied to the fluid by the swimmers themselves (Simha & Ramaswamy, 2002; Saintillan & Shelley, 2008; Ezhilan et al., 2013).”
• Meso-scale turbulence in living fluids (2012, unknown): “Generally, however, we expect hydrodynamic far-field interactions to be less important for the dynamics in very dense suspensions due to mutual hydrodynamic screening (59) and the small magnitude of bacterial flows fields (30), but they could act as a destabilizing noise (54, 60).”
• Active suspensions and their nonlinear models (2013, unknown): “To address this, we and others have found it very useful to study active suspensions as complex fluids, and to employ the tools of continuum mechanics, statistical physics, and coarse-graining to posit or derive continuum partial-differentialequation models [42] [43] [44] [45] [46] [47] [48].”
• The Dynamics of Microtubule/Motor-Protein Assemblies in Biology and Physics (2016, unknown): “Woodhouse & Goldstein (2012) recently used a simplified 2D version of the active suspension model of Saintillan & Shelley (2008a) to study the motion of a field of mobile, but nonmotile, force dipoles in a circular domain.”
