Active ciliated surfaces expel model swimmers.
- Abstract:
-
Continually moving cilia on the surface of marine organisms provide a natural defense against biofouling. To probe the physical mechanisms underlying this antifouling behavior, we integrate the lattice Boltzmann and immersed boundary methods and undertake the first computational studies of the interactions between actuated, biomimetic cilia and a model swimmer. We find that swimmers are effectively "knocked away" from the ciliated surface through a combination of steric repulsion and locally ...
